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.
Seth Newby, who graduated from Bemidji High School, earned the Bun and Alvera Fortier Scholarship.
Here is what he submitted:
I recently graduated from Bemidji High School and have started the next journey of my life at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. I am sincerely grateful for being awarded this scholarship. Your generosity is making a significant impact on my education by easing financial burdens and allowing me to focus on my studies. The recognition fills me with pride and motivation, inspiring me to strive for excellence. Thank you for believing in my potential and supporting my academic journey.
Best Regards,
Seth Newby
