Bryce Beason receives scholarship

Sandpoint’s Life Choices Pregnancy Center recently announced Clark Fork High School graduate Bryce Beason as the recipient of its scholarship.

Beason will be attending the College of the Ozarks, a Christian college in Missouri, where he will major in biology. He plans to utilize his degree by helping the wildlife and conservation efforts through a career with Idaho Fish and Game.

Life Choices Pregnancy Center is a non-profit ministry with a mission to provide hope, help, and healing to men and women facing an unplanned pregnancy. The center's scholarship committee said they selected Beason because of his dedication to God, his stance on the right to life, and his commitment to his community.
