Wilson-Covert Centennial Scholarship
Established by sons John Covert Wilson, Class of 1943 and Arthur Philip Wilson, Jr, Class of 1940
The Wilson-Covert Centennial Scholarship was given to honor Arthur Philip WIlson (Class of 1910) and Velma Covert Wilson (Class of 1909), born in 1890 in Polk and Platte Counties, Nebraska. They were graduates of the Columbus High School as are their sons who gave this scholarship on the one hundredth anniversary of their late parents' births.
