Previous Scholarship Winners

“As a student, it is very beneficial having opportunities to get more involved in associations such as SWANA, and I had a great time learning more about SWANA and putting together my application. This award has helped me with tuition for this academic year. Awards like this make it possible for students to focus more on their academics with less stress about the finances needed to go to college.”
– Jenna Springer - Environmental Engineering Student University of Wisconsin
