Scholarship

Richard Hatz Scholarship

In 2007, the Richard Hatz Scholarship was created in honor of Dick’s 40 years of service to fighting poverty in northwest Iowa. Mid-Sioux awards two $500 scholarships each year. Eligible recipients must currently be attending school in the five-county area served by Mid-Sioux. Recipients of the scholarship are chosen based on their prior service to their community and their plans to further that service through educational advancement. Award recipients are chosen by the executive committee of the board. The scholarship is funded through employee & board member contributions to the Mid-Sioux Internal Giving Campaign and through private donations.
