What Student recipients have to say about receiving scholarships from the District 110 Foundation.

" The scholarship I received from my high school has played a huge role in supporting my journey as a first-year student at the University of Tampa as I prepare to apply to the nursing program. By helping cover tuition and academic expenses, it has allowed me to focus on building a strong academic foundation, completing prerequisite courses, and gaining early exposure to the nursing profession. This support has eased financial stress and motivated me to work diligently toward my goal of becoming a nurse, and I am very grateful for this investment in my education and my future career in healthcare." - Kaitlyn Schweiger

"Receiving the Waconia ISD 110 Foundation scholarship had a meaningful impact on my first year at NDSU. I am a student at North Dakota State University studying Biomedical Science with a minor in Chemistry. I used the scholarship funds to pay for my tuition, which allowed me to focus on my studies, adjust to college life, and explore career opportunities instead of needing to work during my freshman year. With that help, I have achieved a 4.00 GPA in my first semester of college. I’ve joined pre-med clubs on campus and will be volunteering at Sanford Medical Clinics this spring to gain more insight into potential medical career paths. I am truly grateful for the support and the space this scholarship provided to help me transition to college and have a successful freshman year." - Brooklyn Schramm

"I am so grateful to have received the ISD 110 Daniel Schnobrich scholarship, as it will allow me to pursue my degree and honor the life of a former Iowa State University student. At Iowa State, I have grown in a number of ways and it is only the beginning, I am excited to see where the future leads me. Daniel Schnobrich’s legacy is an inspiration that I will carry with me forever." - Karalyn Buetow

"Thank you very much for the scholarship money. I plan to do a 5-year Master's program for athletic training so I can give back to student-athletes.”

“I am extremely grateful that you have selected me to be the recipient of the Public Service Scholarship and the Volunteer Scholarship. These scholarships will help me fund my education and achieve my goals.”
