FOR ANTIGO TIMES

ANTIGO, WI. – The Aspirus Langlade Hospital Auxiliary presented three scholarships to area students who are pursuing degrees in the human medical related field at an accredited post-secondary institution. All three scholarships were made possible by proceeds from the Aspirus Langlade Hospital Auxiliary’s fundraiser, Denim & Diamonds this past May.  Applicants must be related to a hospital or clinic employee and be graduates of a Langlade County high school or an alternative program.  In addition, the applicants must have a permanent address within the Langlade County school district boundaries and have successfully completed at least one full year of college.
