2009 YANKTON COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED

May 12, 2009

Yankton College Board of Trustees is proud to announce the names of the 2009 YC Scholarships determined by a scholarship committee. Four winners will receive $1,000 to assist in the cost of their tuition next fall. They are: Meghan Schuster, Yankton, the Carl & Cle Youngworth Scholarship; Kaycee Michael, Yankton, the Brown-Daniels Scholarship; Taylor Wrobel, Manchester, CT, the Bennett-Walter Scholarship and Robert Gallup, Sioux Falls, SD, the Brink (Graduate) Scholarship.

There are three additional scholarships awarded to three graduating Yankton High School seniors who met the criteria established by the donors. The 2009 recipients are: Sean McDonald, the Isabel Sattler Scholarship at $1000; Jared Ailts, the Donald B. Ward Scholarship at $1000 and Jaclyn Mathison, the Harry Speece Scholarship at $500.

The Yankton College Scholarship Program began in 1990 and was designed to help keep the name and traditions of Yankton College alive. Since then, over $250,000 has been awarded to high school seniors and graduate students. The Yankton College Scholarship Program is acting on the words of Dr. Joseph Ward, founder of Yankton College, who said, “To be able to help a child is the most divine thing a man can do in the world.”
