The American Legion Riders from McMinnville Post 21 have chosen four graduating seniors to receive scholarships.

The motorcycle group presented $1,000 scholarships to Paul Morris of Willamina High School, Madeline Smith of McMinnville, Libby Glassley of Dayton and Jakob Jarvis Yamhill-Carlton.

The Riders also perform service to veterans, such as escorting them on their return home from Honor Flights or building handicapped-accessible ramps in homes. In addition, they take part in events such as annual Memorial Day tributes at local cemeteries.
