Western National Insurance Group Announces 2018 Scholarship Recipients
We are pleased to announce that our Scholarship Committee has selected the following eight applicants to receive merit-based college scholarships worth $3,000 each for the upcoming fall term: Abigail Aanonsen (St. Paul, Minn.), Emily Benz (Wabasso, Minn.), Sidney Moore (Marshfield, Wis.), Molly Overkamp (St. Paul, Minn.), D’aviyan Robinson (Crystal, Minn.), Jake Silver (Highland Park, Ill.), Zachary Splonskowski (Madison, Minn.), and Sarah Vos (Caputa, S.D.).
Scholarships are available annually to eight eligible, college-enrolled children of Western National Insurance Group partner agents and employees in the Group’s states of operation. Applications are judged on a variety of criteria (including academics, curricular and extra-curricular activity participation, a letter of recommendation, and an essay), with students’ identifying information hidden from the judges to ensure the integrity of the scoring process.
“We’re pleased to be able to award these scholarships to such a talented and accomplished group of students,” said Stuart Henderson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These eight young men and women have excelled in their studies, their in-school and extracurricular activities, their creativity, and their leadership among their peers. They represent a very bright future, and we hope you will join us in congratulating them as our ‘Class of 2018’.”
