Blewett Wrestling Scholarship

Alexander (Zander) Blewett, III, a trial lawyer from Great Falls who practices in the personal injury law firm of Hoyt & Blewett PLLC, will award $1000 Scholarships to the Top Student/Wrestler In All Three Classes: AA, A and B/C.

Zander is a great fan of wrestling. Being a trial lawyer is very similar to wrestling; you prevail by hard work. Zander has spent the majority of his adult life in front of juries handling all types of claims for injured persons in a statewide litigation practice. He wrestled, but not particularly well; his sons, Anders and Drew, who are lawyers and who also wrestled, but with much more distinction. The sport has served them all very well.

The purpose of this scholarship is to award $1000 for the single wrestler in Class AA, Class A and Class B/C who has displayed the best combined qualities of wrestling and academic achievement. The award will go to one senior in each class around the state who best qualifies. You do not have to be the state champion to qualify for this scholarship; if you do win, you must still exhibit good academic achievement. The winner of each class must attend a college somewhere in the United States and a check in the amount of $1000 will be sent to that college to help defray the cost of tuition.
