Merit Resource Services in Central Washington H. Kelleher Scholarship

Each year, Merit Resource Services offers scholarships to Central Washington high school seniors that are planning to attend college or trade school after high school. This year, for 2018 we are again adding a third $1,000 scholarship for students in Kittitas County as well as a fourth $1,000 scholarship for students in Benton and Franklin Counties in addition to the current two (2) scholarships to Yakima Valley. The scholarship is in memory of Howard Kelleher, who passed away in 2005 at the age of 98. Howard was a long-time recovering alcoholic who tried to help others get sober. He was one of the original founders of Merit Resource Services as well as a founder of Sundown M. Ranch and Triumph Treatment Services.
