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

Welcome!

We have been "Honoring our Pioneer Forefathers in St. George and Washington City since 1933" — yes, for 92 years, with our chapter organized in its current form since 1989! We are one of 46 local chapter organizations and have been recognized annually with the "Chapter in Excellence" award.

Membership is open to sons (descendants) of Utah pioneers or to those men (and their wives) who just have an interest in promoting and honoring local pioneer heritage. We are actively engaged in Washington City Cotton Days, St. George City Dixie Days and local historical treks. We share pioneer histories and award approximately $15,000 dollars annually to local high school seniors and 2nd grade students.

You can also follow our Facebook page at Cotton Mission Chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers. We would love to have you join us!

Brad Allen,
2025 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.
