Competition open for local PEO scholarship

The local chapter of P.E.O. welcomes high school senior women to apply for a scholarship to be used next year at any institution for post-secondary education. Inquiries may be directed to high school guidance counselors, according to Janet Martin, president of Chapter CQ serving Neligh, Elgin, Tilden, Orchard, Clearwater and vicinities.

The local chapter is one of about 5,800 in the United States and Canada. Founded in 1869 in Mount Pleasant, IA, P.E.O. members are passionate about helping women advance through education.

The local chapter meets monthly to conduct P.E.O. business and learn about such things as travel, gardening, music, and more. To learn more about P.E.O., including membership, see https://www.peointernational.org.
