Cooperative Response Center, Inc. (CRC) of Austin has announced its scholarship program for the 2009-10 school year. Although CRC has participated in other local scholarship programs in the past, this will be the first time CRC will sponsor its own scholarship program, with plans to award $5,000 to area students.

CRC’s Austin headquarters will award three $1,000 scholarships to Austin and Mower County students.

Austin High School and Pacelli High School seniors who will graduate in May and college students attending Riverland Community College who live in the Austin are eligible to apply.
