This scholarship was established in 1998 in honor of Bill Barlow, who retired after 30 years as president of the Sioux Empire United Way. More than 300 Sioux Falls area individuals and businesses contributed to this scholarship fund, which is intended to offer encouragement and support to a young man or woman who endeavors, after a bad start, to make the most of his/her potential.
