Program Snapshot: Scholarship

We love our scholarship program which, this year, is awarding 12 renewal scholarships to students already in post-high school education and nine scholarships to new students fresh out of high school. Here are just a few reasons why we love this program so much:

  • Several students are entering medical fields, including a future nurse, physician’s assistant and neurosurgeon.
  • Two awardees are the first members of their families to attend college; their entire families are rallied behind them and their success.
  • One student opted to finish the last two years of high school remotely to save money and, more importantly, to keep chronically ill family members safe. She graduated with honors and plans for a vibrant future.
  • Another awardee is attending a local private university, living at home and carefully stewarding every available dollar for school; this student remarked on his commitment to be frugal with dollars and work hard to succeed.
  • Our students are entering diverse fields. In addition to those aiming for the medical world, we have those preparing for careers in animal sciences, automotive technology, architectural engineering, business and more.

Congratulations to all our 2023 scholarship awardees!
