It’s scholarship season! Students in Adult Living class are hard at work applying for scholarships with assistance from Mrs. Reiman and Mrs. Engelmann. Since adding Adult Living class in 2018, the amount of scholarship money awarded to Cobden students has increased exponentially. The average grew from $350,000 to $750,000 in scholarships awarded. We even hit one MILLION dollars in 2021! Students in Adult Living are also supported if they choose a trade, military or go straight to work! 💰
