Young Women in Leadership Scholarship -

Olivia Anderson. "I have always liked to design and create, and as I’ve gotten older, those interests have turned me towards a career in engineering and architecture. In the fall, I am planning to attend Northwestern College and pursue a degree in Civil Engineering. As a female in a male-dominated field, I am looking forward to bringing my unique

perspective to my classes and projects. "

ZONTA Mankato Scholarships -

Averie Hernandez.

 "I plan to major in Biology and Spanish in college..... I was inspired to pursue a degree in Spanish because my dad is a Mexican immigrant. I was fluent in Spanish as a child, but because I grew up around very few Latinos, I lost that fluency. I've tried to regain that knowledge by taking Spanish classes in high school, and I plan to continue that education so I'm able to assist people like my father in the future. I hope to join volunteer organizations when I'm at the University of Minnesota: Twin Cities, whether that volunteering be running events, community service, or any other type of assistance."

Avery Schuh who is completing her first year at Augustana University. She is double majoring in Finance and Business Administration.
