Road Show Scholarships are awarded each spring to students who would benefit financially and who possess an outstanding training, education and employment history.
The goal of the scholarships is to provide funds to deserving individuals in pursuit of training for successful careers while acknowledging that their employment by business and industry will contribute to the economy of the area.
The Altus Breakfast Club is a group of civic leaders who meet each Thursday morning to discuss local, state and national issues. The money for the two scholarships was taken from proceeds from the Road Show 2007 review held last fall.
The show, which has become an annual event, is a minstrel-type production that pokes fun at local citizens. Members of the club participate in the show and host the event.
