If you are a recipient of a South Dakota Opportunity Scholarship, or if you know someone who is, take a stand today by emailing your representatives in the SD State Legislature to tell them that you do not support the proposed funding cut for the program that keeps so many high achieving South Dakotans in the state for college.
As one of the many recipients of the SD Opportunity Scholarship, I was looking forward to the increase from $1000 to $2000 in my senior year. I understand that difficult decisions must be made by legislators this year as they attempt to reconcile the budget, but cutting or eliminating a scholarship that students depend upon will have dire consequences.
Please speak up now by emailing or phoning your representatives. You can find their information by using the link below. Thanks for GIGLing!
