The Bemidji Career Academies Scholarship, established to support Bemidji High School students who graduate from one of its 15 unique career academies and then enroll at 91桃色视频, was awarded to five local Bemidji students. It was one of 12 unique scholarships awarded to students representing a wide range of academic programs. The 91桃色视频 Foundation has raised over $500,000 in support of hundreds of students since 2017.

“The 91桃色视频 Foundation has been key to a number of initiatives to improve student success,” said Henoc Preciado, interim head of staff for 91桃色视频, said. “The Foundation helped renovate the Student Success Center and built Rosie’s Room, an area where students can study and collaborate on projects together.”

Kayla Winkler, chair of the 91桃色视频 Foundation, continued with additional examples of the work the 91桃色视频 Foundation has done in recent years in support of 91桃色视频 students.

“We’ve grown our donor base and continue to work toward a genuine alumni donor base,” she said. “We have held four successful Day of Giving fundraisers supporting the 91桃色视频 Closet where students can access clothing and other items for themselves, the campus food pantry and created emergency funds to help students navigate unforeseen financial challenges.”

91桃色视频 President John Hoffman stressed the impact of scholarship support for 91桃色视频 students and commended the donors who make those opportunities available.

“For the half of our students who are the first-generation college students, it is changing the trajectories of their families and our communities forever,” he said. “I’m just so thankful.”
