Three Northwestern Oklahoma State University seniors were awarded the Guthrie Scottish Rite Scholarship given by the Guthrie Scottish Rite Charitable and Educational Foundation.

Those awarded this semester are Bobbie Dewald-Tuck of Gage, majoring in early childhood education; Charles Wylie of Ponca City, majoring in English education; and Isileli Ofiu of Anchorage, Alaska, majoring in vocal music education.

Each semester the scholarships are awarded to teacher candidates who are completing their professional semester.

Dr. Christie Jenlink, associate dean of education and professor of education, presented the students their scholarship.

The Guthrie Scottish Rite Charitable and Educational Foundation works primarily with children with language and/or reading disorders.

Recipients are chosen by members of the Teacher Education faculty who have reviewed all applications and voted for the candidate they felt was the best choice.
