History: Carol Bennett was an original board member of Ludington Visiting Writers and facilitator of the West Side Gang (second and fourth Tuesday critiques) writers group. She lost a long battle with cancer in 2011. This scholarship was established in her memory for the time she donated and the advice she gave to our group.

The total value of the Scholarship shall be a minimum of $1,500.00 for 2021, but may be split among multiple applicants in the case of ties. It is not limited to residents of Mason County or to high school seniors! However, we do encourage seniors from Mason, Oceana, Manistee, and Lake counties to apply.
