Arvig awarded the Royale B & Eleanor M Arvig Memorial Scholarship to 36 area high school seniors from the class of 2025, including Frazee-Vergas senior Asher Blaine.
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.
“Awarding these scholarships is a highlight for us every year,” said David Arvig, Vice President and COO at Arvig. “We’re thrilled to congratulate each of our 2025 scholarship recipients on their remarkable achievements, and we wish them the very best in their higher education journeys.”
