Congratulations to our 2023 scholarship winner: Renee Elhard!

Micro Membership Renee Elhard"I decided that I was going to start my educational path and enroll into my prerequisites that will guide me to be a traveling physical therapist. I plan to spend my first year at the University of Alaska, Anchorage starting this fall."

Renee's compelling application essay detailed the challenges she overcame as a child, which has shaped her goal of giving back to our community. 

"I want to return to my hometown after I am finished with school and contribute to our community. I believe that in order to overcome certain obstacles life throws at you, help is always needed from your surrounding environments. If I can bring my education and return to Seward then I will be able to help others with some disadvantages they might have like mine."
