Nine $1000 Scholarships Awarded to Area Seniors at April Dinner — Cotton Mission Chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers

Welcome!

As Sons of Utah Pioneers we truly stand on the shoulders of others who have built communities before us. A most successful 2023 year in our chapter saw us hosting the National Encampment convention. We volunteered service hours then attended the rededication of the St. George Temple as part of that noteworthy event. In 2024 we will focus on the word “Dedication” in memory of the first pioneers who settled this valley with faith, hope and sacrifice.

We invite you to join us as we rededicate to be pioneers in our time and build the next generation of pioneers to honor our heritage.

Roy Taylor,
2024 Chapter President

scholarships, essay, meetings

Nine $1000 scholarships were awarded to high school seniors from our area at our April dinner meeting. Schools represented were Pine View, Dixie, Desert Hills, Snow Canyon, Enterprise, Millcreek, and the Success Academy. The scholarship money was donated by members of the Cotton Mission Chapter, some of whom donated the full $1000. The remainder was raised at our annual scholarship fundraiser dinner held at the Hyrum Smith Ranch in Gunlock, where steak dinners were donated, and all funds raised went to the scholarship fund.

Many thanks to Cheryl Ann and Roy Taylor, who head up the scholarship essay program and awards ceremony. Thanks as well to Dean Terry, Charlie Clayton, and other members of our Fundraising committee.
