Cailey Stolt
“These scholarships will create the opportunity for me to put my focus entirely on my education that wouldn't have been a consideration beforehand,” said Stolt, who will be pursuing a nursing degree at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. “With this financial support, I am able to look into studying abroad and unique research opportunities that allow me to broaden my knowledge and perspective of those around me.”
All scholarships were established to assist seniors graduating from the Eau Claire Area School District fulfill their higher education goals. The $10,000 J. Murphy STEM Scholarship was established in 2016 through the generosity of an anonymous donor with family roots in the community, and a passion for helping students pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM). Additionally, the scholarship is renewable for up to four years, for a total possible funding of $40,000 per recipient.
The ECPSF looks forward to helping more donors establish scholarship funds for ECADS graduates over the 2022-2023 academic year. Graduates may apply for available scholarships beginning in January 2023. To learn more about these opportunities, visit www.ecpsfound.org.
