Next Chapter Family Endowed Scholarship

The Next Chapter Family Endowed Scholarship was established by a La Crosse family with deep roots in technical college education and a strong belief in its power to change lives.

Technical education played a transformative role in their own family’s journey by opening doors to stable careers, personal growth, and long-term financial security. Because of that experience, they understand firsthand how education can reshape a family’s future for generations.

They also recognize that returning to school as a parent or non-traditional student takes extraordinary courage. Balancing coursework with work schedules, childcare, marriage, and financial pressures can feel overwhelming. The weight of providing for a family while investing in a better future is real and often heavy.

This scholarship was created to support students who are writing their own next chapter while raising a family. With preference given to married couples and parents pursuing their education, the donors hope to ease some of the financial strain so students can focus on learning, growing, and building stronger economic outcomes for their households.

Though they have chosen to give anonymously, their message is simple: they see you, they believe in you, and they are honored to stand alongside you as you pursue this next chapter.
