The WROF, Inc. Premier Scholarship Award Program provides high school seniors from rural Wisconsin with $3,000 each to help cover the costs of Wisconsin’s post-secondary tuition and educational expenses. Key in the selection process is the student’s intention to return to rural Wisconsin upon graduation.

Thank you to over 200 applicants for applying and sharing their talents and skills with us. In addition, we’d like to express our deep gratitude to the WROF, Inc. Premier Scholarship Awards Program Chair, Susan Schultz, and the members of the ad hoc WROF, Inc. Premier Scholarship Selection Committee for their time, dedication, and careful consideration in selecting the five recipients. 

AND… thanks to YOU – our more than 6,000 alumni scholars, our 35 educational partners, and our many generous donors! Your faith in us to direct resources to the talented in rural Wisconsin who will inspire a bright future for our beloved Wisconsin is strong. You share our values, you see the opportunities, you share the vision.

Thank you to our supporters and sponsors.
