Making an Impact for 3 Local Students
Congratulations to our 2024 Vicki Decker Scholarship recipients!
Each recipient was awarded a $1,500 scholarship, thanks to funds raised during our annual Cabin Fever Dash each February.
Meet Susana Zuccarelli and her family
Susana a wife, mother of three, a current student at Saint Mary’s University, and a Vicki Decker Scholarship recipient!
Her mother inspired her to become a nurse after she worked as a nursing assistant in Mexico and didn’t have the financial opportunity to take the next step.
“My dream of becoming a nurse is not just mine but also my mother’s,” Susana said.
Currently working at Winona Health and Mayo Clinic, Susana will use her scholarship to pay for the equipment she needs for her education — including a stethoscope, other equipment, and gas to get to school.
Meet Courtney Rollinger and her family
Courtney is a current Minnesota State College Southeast student studying in the radiography program and a Vicki Decker Scholarship recipient.
In between being a student, Courtney works at Nate & Ally’s and at Gundersen Health Systems in Onalaska. She dreams of becoming a board-certified radiologic technologist.
Courtney plans to use her scholarship to pay for tuition and rent while she’s in Iowa for clinicals. “This is going to help take off the financial burden!” she said.
Meet Mollie Ping and her family!
Mollie is a soon-to-be student at the College of Saint Benedict where she plans to “double major in finance and accounting this fall, while being in the honors program and running track and cross country.”
Mollie’s dream is to become a CFO of a major company!
Mollie plans to use her scholarship to help her focus on settling in for the first semester without needing to find a job right away.
