🌟 SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT 🌟
🎓 Congratulations, Paula Flores!
Paula holds a genuine appreciation for education itself — the belief that learning never really stops, no matter where you are in life. She's the recipient of the Lois Siefert Memorial Scholarship, and this fall, she'll be studying Health Sciences.
"I am so fortunate to have the education and opportunities that I have and I will never take it my ability to learn for granted. Education is something that I value a lot, and I truly believe that a person never stops learning no matter what point of their life they are at. It is never too late or too early to get out and discover things that you have never before seen."
The healthcare field is about to get a little brighter. Congratulations, Paula, and good luck this fall! 💛
Students like Paula don't get here alone. Learn how you can help fund the next generation of Dunn County scholars. 🌎 cfdunncounty.org | 📞 715-232-8019

🌟 SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT 🌟
🎓 Congratulations, Oliver Schenck!
Oliver's biggest lesson from high school didn't come from a classroom; it came from playing multiple sports and learning that success means showing up every single day. He's the recipient of the Linda Krueger Legacy Scholarship for Business & Entrepreneurial Studies, and this fall, he's heading to UW-Stout Polytechnic to study Construction Management.
"Work ethic has been one of the biggest lessons I've learned in high school. Playing multiple sports taught me quickly that success comes from showing up every day, even when you're tired or things aren't going your way. Balancing practices, games, and school forced me to manage my time and stay disciplined, especially during busy seasons."
Here's to you, Oliver! We're cheering you on as you head off to UW-Stout this fall. 💛
