Perham, MN – Arvig has awarded the Royale B & Eleanor M Arvig Memorial Scholarship to 36 area high school seniors from the class of 2026.
Each student will receive a $3,000 scholarship to their chosen college, university, or vocational school. Students were selected based on achievements or interests in mathematics, engineering, accounting, computer science, telecommunications, or any physical sciences.
Arvig established the scholarship fund to emphasize the importance of higher education and encourage civic leadership in honor of founders Royale and Eleanor Arvig, who began offering telephone service to the Perham area in 1950.
“Arvig is proud to empower these students from the Class of 2026 to achieve their highest academic potential,” said David Arvig, Vice President and COO at Arvig. “As an independent, employee-owned company, we take pride in helping these students take their next step toward higher education.
