As part of the celebration, President Jim Taggart and Development Director Brynn Murdock will make a brief presentation at the September 2, 2021 Huntsville Town Council meeting. As part of the presentation, President Taggart and Ms. Murdock will announce the “50th Anniversary Community Scholarship,” which is an opportunity for the college to thank its community and municipal partners for their support since the college opened in 1971. They stated, “In honor of our 50 years, Ogden -Weber Technical College wants to reinvest in a community member from each municipality by providing a half-year scholarship ($1,000 value).” The Huntsville Town Council is working to identify a hardworking, valuable resident of Huntsville, Eden, or Liberty to receive the scholarship. The scholarship offers an opportunity for a student to upskill and retool by receiving a certificate from one of the school’s 32 employment categories in five areas: Health, Construction, Manufacturing, Services, and Business and Computer Technology. The only qualifications are that the resident must be over the age of 18 and currently enrolled at OTech or would like to further their education at OTech. If you are interested in applying for this scholarship opportunity, please send a letter telling us what program at OTech you are participating in or would like to participate in. The letter must be less than 500 words and describe why you would be a good candidate for this scholarship opportunity and how the scholarship could help you. Please include anything that might show what a hardworking and valuable Valley resident you are. Submissions must be mailed to: HUNTSVILLE TOWN cont. from page 1 basement, a history department room for historical records and the town’s antiquities; proper storage; a kitchen, and a large recreation room for exercising, quilting bees, group meetings, CERT training, and more. Rather than using local tax monies to pay for the center, CDBG monies, RAMP funds, and proceeds from selling Huntsville’s exist- ing town hall and associated properties will be used. The site chosen for the center is the old Valley Elementary school property on 200 South. The center will be located to the east of the hotel, with the south side of the center property facing the north side of Huntsville Park, allowing for ample parking on both sides of the road for those attending meetings or center events.
