The Manitowoc Golden K Kiwanis club is helping several local students as they continue their academic journeys.
The club awarded seven recent high school graduates with $500 scholarships, which were selected from a pool of 19 applicants.
Among the scholarship awardees were Roncalli’s John Vadney and Dominic Thiele, who will both be attending St. Norbert College.
The other five awardees graduated from Manitowoc Lincoln, including Ella Zutz, who will be attending Bellin College, UW La Crosse-bound Lila Redwine, Emett Brodtke, who is headed for UW Platteville, Olivia Rabitz who plans to attend Northern Michigan University, and Alex Perez, who will stay closer to home and attend UW Green Bay.
Manitowoc Golden K Kiwanis Scholarship Committee Chairman Dave Estes told the recipients, “We recognize $500 is a very modest amount considering current college costs, but we do want to recognize past academic achievements and community service and anticipate future achievements and civic involvement.”
Golden K Kiwanis raises and gives away about $10,000 annually thanks to community support of their brat fry fundraisers, and M&M and Lily Drives among others.
