Purdue Scholarships for Spencer County Residents

As a Purdue Alumni and use of this scholarship, I thought I would blog this important fact to potential home owners looking at moving into Spencer County.

All residents of Spencer County students are given a scholarship call the Berkshire Scholarship if they attend Purdue University and are from our county. The amounts vary depending on how many students goto Purdue from the county a year. In addition, you are given scholarship funds every year that you attend Purdue upto four years. A mininium GPA is all that is required to keep the scholarship every year. If you do not keep the min. GPA you can loose it and not qualify for it as you continue your education at Purdue.

Thanks to a Spencer County Alumni that set this fund up. I was very thankful for its use and thousands it saved me over the years at Purdue. I thought I would get the message out because it can make a difference in home selection if you have students getting ready to attend college and you are debating if you want to live in Spencer, Dubois, or Perry County.

Call for more details.

Hail, Hail, to Old Purdue.....
