Semling receives scholarships to Northwood Technical College
Kyle Semling of Merrill, who attends the Northwood Technical College Rice Lake Campus, was recently awarded two scholarships for the Spring 2023 semester to help him pursue his education in the field of Construction and Cabinetmaking. Semling received both the MAC Construction Scholarship and the Northwest Building Inspectors Association Scholarship.
More than $57,838 in scholarships were awarded for the Spring 2023 semester in total, thanks to generous donors through the Northwood Technical College Foundation. Each semester, the Northwood Tech Foundation has an application period for students to apply for any scholarships to help offset the costs associated with attending college.
“The Northwood Technical College Foundation relies heavily on the generosity of our donors to fulfill the dreams of the students we serve and the employment needs of our community,” said Kim Pearson, Executive Director for Northwood Tech Foundation. “With the college’s enrollments increasing and the financial gap for our students widening, ongoing support is essential. Together, we turn students into success stories.”
Scholarships help students with education-related costs such as tuition, fees, books, classroom supplies and more. For Northwood Tech students, these scholarships and other forms of aid provide support while they achieve their goal and begin their career path with little to no student debt. Some of these students are fresh out of high school, while others are returning to school for a variety of reasons, including after years of working in a different career field or being a stay-at-home parent. No matter what level or age these individuals are enrolling at Northwood Tech, any assistance they receive makes the journey to achieving their degree less difficult and allows them to focus on Northwood Tech’s overall objective of Learning First.
