Throughout the scholarship season, we are spotlighting scholarship recipients by sharing the thank you notes they submitted to their respective scholarship committees. The donors who support these funds and the volunteers and committee members who champion these funds are all investing in the future of this region. We thank them for their work in making a sustainable impact of the lives of those who call our community home.
Anna Krahn, a graduate of Roseau High School, earned the 2024 Roseau Lions Club Scholarship.
Here is what she submitted:
Thank you to everyone at the Roseau Lions Club for the scholarship I was given. It has helped me achieve my dream of going to college. I love being a student at Bethel University’s BUILD program and living in the dorms on campus in St. Paul, MN. My classes are helping me be more independent and be ready for a job.
Some of the people who have helped me from my community in Roseau tell me that I am the first person with Intellectual Disability that they know to go to college.
I really love it!
