ProGrowth Scholarship Program
Progressive Growth Corp. has established a scholarship program to assist high school seniors attending Nicollet or Sibley East High School who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

Applicants may not be students enrolled in college through postsecondary options on a full-time basis.
Children of Progressive Growth Corp. employees are eligible to apply.
