BLM Pinedale awards college scholarships to local students
Seniors Alison Wadsworth and Joshua Eaton recipients
by Bureau of Land Management
May 1, 2013

Pinedale High School seniors Alison Wadsworth and Joshua Eaton earned scholarships from the employees of the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Pinedale Field Office (PFO) for their outstanding academic achievement and strong commitment to public lands. Wadsworth was awarded $300 and runner-up Eaton was awarded $200 to be used as needed when each student enters the University of Wyoming in fall 2013.

Seven scholarship applications were received. Candidates were anonymously ranked according to transcript, résumé and a brief essay discussing how each student viewed their educational and career goals in relation to the role of the BLM in their community. This year, only one point separated the top two candidates.

Since 1992, the PFO Scholarship Committee has awarded scholarships to graduating seniors from the Pinedale and Big Piney high schools. The PFO Employee Social Organization raises scholarship money from various endeavors, including chili cook-offs, snack bar sales, horseshoe tournaments, white elephant sales, dessert auctions and employee donations. This year, there were sufficient funds to award the usual $300 scholarship as well as a second $200 scholarship.
