Congratulations to the WROF, Inc. 2026 Premier Scholars!

Please join us in congratulating the WROF, Inc. 2026 Premier Scholars!

The seven WROF, Inc. 2026 Premier Scholars are:

Lillian Harmon of Dallas, WI

Carson Klumb of Marshfield, WI

Addison McCracken of Bloomer, WI

Madeline Maas of Iron Ridge, WI

Storm Marshall-Buss of Mineral Point, WI

Ella Ranes of Marshfield, WI

Emily Zemke of Clayton, WI

Each Premier Scholar is awarded a $3,000 scholarship to help cover the costs of post-secondary tuition and educational expenses. Key in the selection process is the student’s intent to return to rural Wisconsin upon graduation to help sustain its vitality.  For more information about the WROF, Inc. Premier Scholarship Awards Program, visit here.

The scholarships for Lillian Harmon and Storm Marshall-Buss were made possible through a gift from Rural Mutual Insurance Company to the WROF, Inc. Premier Scholarship Awards Program.

We extend our sincere thanks to Susan Schultz, chair of the WROF, Inc. Premier Scholarship Awards Program, for her leadership. We are also grateful to the volunteer members of the ad hoc WROF, Inc. Premier Scholarship Selection Committee for their time, dedication, and careful consideration in selecting the seven recipients. The volunteer judges have no affiliation with the applicants or the program administration.

Thank you to our supporters and sponsors.
