In addition, thanks to th Inc., Bob Martin of Thor Industries, Jerry McCarthy of Grand Design, and Don Gunden of Forest River, each contributed $1,000 to kick off the funding of a meal per diem.
The 2021 scholarship recipients will also receive leather jackets, sponsored by Forest River Flagstaff, and polo shirts and hats, sponsored by Northern Wholesale Supply.
