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.
Olivia Huck, who graduated from Crookston High School, earned the Larsen Family Achievement Award Scholarship.

Here is what she submitted:
I am attending Minnesota State University, Moorhead to earn my BSN (Bachelors of Science in Nursing). I am so grateful to have been the recipient of your 2022 scholarship, thank you! Your generosity towards me has made the process of paying for my education a bit easier. This scholarship has taken some of the stress that comes with the financial side of things off of my shoulders. It feels great to have the support of my community behind me.
Thank you again,
- Olivia Huck
