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.
Aaron Wensloff, who graduated from Roseau High School, earned the Citizens State Bank of Roseau Scholarship.
Here is what he submitted:
I am attending school at the University of Minnesota Crookston and am pursuing a major in Accounting and two minors; one in Management and one in Finance. I am also playing Division II baseball here on campus. I would like to personally thank you for your generosity in providing me with this scholarship opportunity. I am incredibly grateful to be selected as a recipient of this award. With the help of this scholarship, I will be able to pursue a degree from a prestigious university that will set me up for success in the future. This scholarship allows me to worry less about the financial stress of paying for my education and devote more time to my studies. I was extremely excited and grateful when I received the news I would be receiving this award. Thank you again for the generous donation. It is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Aaron Wensloff
