Tyler Anderson, Political Science, Sociology, Senior
Fargo, N.D.
“Scholarships mean I can commit a lot more time to academics and serving the campus. For me, knowing somebody is donating to help fund my education so I can do those things instills a deep sense of wanting to give back. I want to pay it forward, so I work really hard to serve the community that helped my education.” |

Amie Nowacki, Biology, Senior
Alexandria, Minn.
“Without the scholarship I couldn’t have gone as far. Having reached a senior point in my credits this year, there wasn’t Minnesota financial aid available for me. The Founders Scholarship allowed me to finish my senior year, be able to afford it, and hopefully, move on to become a doctor of veterinary medicine or attend graduate school.” |
