Halter Scholarship Award

For the benefit of newer members, Harold Halter was the Executive Vice President of this association for 29-years, following his death, Halter’s friends wanted to keep his memory alive. To that end, a scholarship was established in his name at the high school he attended in Golconda, IL.

Each year an outstanding student — chosen by the school principal, the guidance counselor, the superintendent, a circuit judge, and the president of the Golconda Rotary Club — has received a scholarship of $1000 to apply against tuition and fees at any two-year or four-year college of the students choice.

During the 2010 Spring Meeting, our Board of Directors requested that the trustee be able to increase the amount of the award and or make it available to additional students.
