Each year, Eagle Scouts from Blackhawk Area Council are honored with the Wayne and Ruth Diehl Scholarship. The award is designed to aid Eagle Scouts within the local council to prepare themselves educationally for their chosen life’s work. This is a one-time, non-renewable scholarship to be used for tuition, books, and/or other college expenses or training beyond high school.
Awards will be in the amount of $1,000 and the number of scholarships presented will be determined by the funds available from the trust fund. This award is made possible by the generous gift of Wayne and Ruth Diehl for a Scholarship Trust Fund.
