“Circumstances surrounding the last few years have been extremely challenging for high school students, and these scholarship recipients have tackled adversity at every turn,” says Casey Brueske, Community Education Development Specialist. “As we read the 2024 applications, we were extremely moved by their enthusiasm, goals, and commitment to their fellow classmates and community. At PenAir Credit Union, we are happy to play a role in their future success.”
