Frank & Arlene Osborne Scholarship

The Frank and Arlene Osborne Scholarship was established by Carole Osborne Lovinger in honor of her parents. Frank Osborne homesteaded with his family near Big Sandy in 1910 after moving from Wisconsin. Arlene, who later became Frank’s wife, moved from Wisconsin to Great Falls during the height of The Great Depression and worked with her aunt at their family’s grocery store. Frank was later employed by the Great Falls Post Office for 35 years until his retirement; Arlene was a homemaker and an avid gardener with a passion for beautiful flowers.

They raised three children, all of whom became Great Falls High School graduates and each with a very strong work ethic, an outstanding sense of responsibility, and an innate desire to help others whenever they could.
