Minnesota Power Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2013 New Generation Scholarships. Scott Rysdahl has received a $1,000 scholarship. Rysdahl is attending Lake Superior Community College. He is enrolled in the information technology specialist program.
His mother, Jeanne Rysdahl, lives in Tofte and his father, Dennis Rysdahl, lives in Schroeder.
These scholarships provide financial assistance to students who attend a higher educational institution in Minnesota Power’s service area and complete degree programs in specified fields of study. The Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation is administering this program on behalf of the Minnesota Power Foundation.
Each year they have the difficult task of determining the recipients from many qualified candidates. “This scholarship program encourages serious students to graduate in fields that align with our region’s workforce needs,” said Minnesota Power Foundation Director Peggy Hanson. “It demonstrates a shared commitment by business, higher education, and students themselves to fill vital gaps in our labor force as Baby Boomers retire.” Minnesota Power began this scholarship program in 2008.
