A local business is stepping up to provide financial aid to members of the Perry High School graduating class.

Hotel Pattee owners Tom and Vicki Maxwell have dedicated $20,000 in scholarships for Perry seniors. Tom tells Raccoon Valley Radio they wanted to do something for the graduating class who have already had to deal with a great deal of adversity graduating through the COVID-19 pandemic. Twenty students from the Class of 2020 will each be receive a $1,000 scholarship to continue their education. This is the first year the Maxwell’s have put together this scholarship program, but Tom says if all goes well, this could open the door to an annual program. The scholarships will be awarded to the graduates Sunday during a limited presentation at Hotel Pattee.
