The Dr. James and
Gail Haemmerle Scholarship
This scholarship was established this past year to assist one non-traditional student with FULL tutiton (up to $20,000) for an associates degree, technical diploma or certificate program in ANY field of study.
Non-traditional students are defined as students who did not go directly to college the fall following high school or have not completed education beyond high school. Preference is given to those whose educational journeys were interrupted by such challenges as food insecurity, language barriers, lack of access to technology and financial instability. This scholarship may be awarded to someone returning to college after a break in studies to complete their degree; or who requires completion of a degree or certification in order to change careers to pursue other employment options.
Applicants must currently reside within one of the following school zip codes to apply: 54751, 54735, 54749, 54730, 54725, 54013, 54027, 54767, 54740, 54737, 54734, and 54763. (These zip codes represent the geographical area where the donor cared for patients throughout his career).

The Barb Schmelzle
Promise Award for Women
This scholarship was established by the Schmelzle Family following Barb’s death in 2019 to honor her love of learning and ability to connect with individuals. This award will be given to help non-traditional women students experiencing financial need and who have experienced extreme and adverse life experiences make progress towards furthering their education in any field. Preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated financial need and/or extenuating life circumstances.
The award is to be used to remove any barrier to the pursuit of the applicant’s educational endeavors. Examples may include but are not limited to paying for college textbooks, technical supplies, tuition, assistance with past due tuition bills, fees for professional licensing exams, etc.
A gift of $1,000 will be awarded to one student each year and is non-renewable.
