You are part of something exciting for rural Wisconsin!

The Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation (WROF), Inc. 2026 Premier Scholars have been selected!

 

WROF, Inc. is honored to invest in the future of rural Wisconsin through its Premier Scholarship Awards Program. It is a meaningful opportunity to lift up students whose dreams, leadership, and passion are rooted in rural communities across our state. These remarkable young people represent the talent, determination, and heart that will help rural Wisconsin flourish for generations to come.

 

Thanks to you – our supporters, educational partners, and past scholarship recipients – seven scholarship awards of $3,000 will be awarded to help with post-secondary tuition and educational expenses.

 

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.

 

Your support plays a vital role in helping rural Wisconsin scholars pursue their academic dreams. Thank you for making this possible.

 

These SEVEN young people represent the bright future for rural Wisconsin.
