Bruhjell and Campbell scholarships awarded

Five Bonner County students will receive awards from the Erik Robin Bruhjell and Darby & Amber Campbell Memorial scholarships. Both scholarships are funded by donations and administered by the Bonner County Human Rights Task Force.

The Darby & Amber Campbell Memorial Scholarships have been awarded for almost ten years and are based on the students’ essays on human rights topics and their activities which show support for human rights. This is the first year of the Erik Robin Bruhjell Scholarship. It is awarded based on the students’ essays regarding the environment, the arts, humanitarian issues and animal welfare, all of which were important to Erik.

Recipients of the Campbell Scholarship are Taylor James, April Radford and Jenny Slaveck, all graduating from Sandpoint High School. Recipients of the Bruhjell Scholarship are Sophie McMahon of Clark Fork High School and Natalie Randolph of Priest River Lamanna High School.

The scholarship committees were impressed with the number of thoughtful essays submitted and wish all of the applicants fulfillment in their studies and future careers.
