ELIGIBILITY

To be considered for this scholarship, the applying student must be a high school senior at Pottsboro High School. This scholarship is in honor of our son, brother and friend, Nathan Halfmann and is intended to honor his memory. In doing so, we are looking for someone who thinks of others before themselves, welcomes new and existing students with a big smile, has a heart for helping others, and always gives their best in all they do. This doesn’t mean being the best but working with what you have and giving it your all, just like Nathan did.
