The Winona Daily News and the Winona Community Foundation joined forces in 2021 to establish the Above and Beyond Scholarship Fund. This fund aims to provide annual scholarships to high school seniors in the Winona area who have demonstrated exceptional resilience, overcome obstacles, or shown outstanding dedication to serving others. The collaboration between the media group and the Foundation enables the program to have a greater impact by longevity and available resources.
WNB Financial also supports the Above and Beyond Scholarship program by making a challenge contribution of $10,000. This generous contribution will not only help fund scholarships for the current year but also contribute to future scholarships awarded through the fund. WNB Financial hopes that this gift will inspire others to contribute to the scholarship fund and support the educational aspirations of deserving students.
Meet the 2023 Above and Beyond recipients:
As the Above and Beyond Scholarship program continues to uplift and support the remarkable students of the Winona area, it serves as a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and community. The stories and journeys of these exceptional high school seniors’ triumph, service, and personal growth inspire us all to reach beyond our perceived limits, to lend a helping hand to those in need, and to pursue our dreams with unwavering determination. Congratulations to the 2023 Above and Beyond Scholarship recipients, and may their futures be filled with endless opportunities and continued success as they make a positive impact on the world around them.
