NORWICH – The Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) has extended the application deadline for its annual Elinor Robb Troicke Memorial Scholarship.

CCHS anticipates awarding the annual scholarship this June to a graduating high school senior from Chenango County. Named in honor of McDonough community member Elinor Robb Troicke, the scholarship has been awarded every year since 2013.

At the time of her passing, Don and Anita Sheldon said Elinor Robb Troicke “was a pillar in the McDonough community. For the past seven years, Troicke has been a column of support for area high school seniors.”
