Lee Johannsen COLLEGE Memorial Scholarship

​The Lee Johannsen Estate established a scholarship for Jones County students.  The goal of the scholarship is to encourage local students to continue their education at a college, university or technical school.  Mr. Johannsen was a long time resident of Jones County living most of his life on a ranch northwest of Okaton and was a faithful member of the St. Peter Lutheran Church.  He passed away February 12, 2000.

The Johannsen scholarship for current college students is a $4,000, $2,000 fall semester & $2,000 spring semester award.   This scholarship is available to a Jones County High School graduate who will be enrolled as a full-time student in a college or university as a junior or senior during the 2021-2022 school year.  Scholarship selection will consist of application evaluation.

  • A copy of a current college transcript, showing completed courses, cumulative credits and cumulative GPA should accompany the application.

The student selected as the Johannsen college scholar will:
