2021 Recipients: Kelby Tostenson, Bailey Sherley, Cora Clift, Dustin Hansberry, Griffin Bator
The Swauk-Teanaway Grange is pleased to be able to award $10,000 in scholarship funds in 2021. Due to the pandemic the Grange was unable to provide a scholarship dinner to the community which in years past has funded the scholarships. Yet, because of the giving generosity of the Kittitas County community we were able to provide $2000 scholarships to each of the five recipients for their post-secondary education. Dustin Hansberry of Cle Elum-Roslyn High School, Cora Clift and Bailey Sherley of Ellensburg High School, and Kelby Tostenson of Kittitas Secondary School are recipients of the Agricultural Scholarships and Griffin Bator of Cle Elum-Roslyn High School is the recipient of the Trades-Related Scholarship.
We have an additional scholarship provided for students pursuing trades-related preparation. More information below.

Also this year – The Swauk-Teanaway Grange is again offering an agriculture-based scholarship and a trades-related scholarship for 2022. We have traditionally offered a scholarship to students going on to higher education who have a background in agriculture. In addition, we want to support students who plan to go into the trades such as plumbing, construction related fields, iron work, graphics or culinary. Please choose the download button for the application that applies to your background and future plans.
To be eligible for either of these scholarships, you must be a high school senior graduating in Kittitas County. Please download the scholarship application to view the requirements for each scholarship. The scholarship for students with agricultural background and the scholarship for students seeking training in a trade both require a fully completed application be received by the deadline for the respective scholarship. This must include an official transcript for all completed courses. Please keep copies of your application materials for future reference.
Late or incomplete applications will not be considered. Do not include resumes or letters of recommendation with your application (college/university or trade-related).
