There can be many benefits to competition, like learning to work under pressure, testing your skills on a different level/openly against others, meet people with a common interest, gain self-confidence, learn to win/lose, work towards goals, and many more! Competition can also bring out a lot of emotions and feelings since you are working hard for the same goal against an opponent. Being competitive and driven while still remaining as an excellent, honest person can be incredibly hard. Lillian Etherington proved this balance openly on the court against Clarion. She worked hard, even face-guarding her opponent because she realized how talented her opponent is. She put it all out on the court, showing respect to an opponent, and still remaining civil and courteous during and after! Thanks for being AHS Awesome Lillian!

The scholarships will be presented to Iowa high school seniors to be used for their first year of college education while pursuing programs of study in any field of agriculture or conservation.

Applications should be submitted to the local soil and water conservation district office in the county where the student lives. Kossuth residents should submit their applications to the Kossuth SWCD Office at 605 East State Street, Suite 2, Algona, IA 50511. The Kossuth County winner will be awarded a $500 scholarship from the Kossuth SWCD, and their application will then be entered into the Conservation Districts of Iowa regional competition. Winners from the regional competitions will receive $500 and go on to be eligible for state-level competition. The top three scholarships at the state level will be awarded $3,000, $2,000, and $1,000.
