Hardin Pioneer Aktion Club recently presented five $250 scholarships to five Hardin County students.
The Aktion Club started this scholarship five years ago to help youth further their education.
Applicants write an essay on how would they make a life better for a person who has disabilities. The scholarship committee reviewed all applicants and selected these winners.
This is the first year that the club has had five scholarships due to their successful fundraisers.
