Kiowa County Sheriff Casey Sheridan has announced that Savanna Gyurman is this year’s recipient of a $500 scholarship award. Funds were provided by the County Sheriffs of Colorado (CSOC), an association of state sheriffs.

Recipients are selected by local citizen committees in Colorado counties. CSOC offered 31 scholarships for high school and college students to further their higher education pursuits in the 2016-17 academic year.
