The Macdonald Foundation is pleased to announce that 25 Work Ethic Scholarships have been awarded for the upcoming 2025 – 2026 college school year.\u00a0 These scholarships are made available to graduating seniors (13) and current college students (12).\u00a0 Graduating Seniors are eligible for a $1,500 scholarship and currently enrolled college students are eligible for a $3,000 scholarship.\u00a0 In total, $55,500 in scholarships were awarded.<\/p>\n

The Macdonald Foundation Work Ethic Scholarships are administered through the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin.\u00a0 The recipients were selected from a pool of 64 total applicants this year.\u00a0 Eight of the recipients have worked for the Woodchucks\u00a0 and Ignite at some time,\u00a0 while others have a relationship with the Woodchucks and Ignite as employees of the Parks Department or Peoples State Bank.\u00a0 There were 15 students who had no relationship with the Woodchucks and Ignite but were judged to have outstanding work ethic.<\/p>\n

The graduating seniors receiving the scholarships were recognized at their respective school scholarship events in May.\u00a0 Current college students were notified separately.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a great appreciation and respect for students working their way through college,\u201d said Mark Macdonald, Trustee for The Macdonald Foundation, \u201cObviously, as the owner of the Wausau Woodchucks and Ignite, I count on these working students to operate Athletic Park in the summer.\u00a0 Additionally, as parents of four children, Donna and I have also learned that a part-time or summer jobs can be very helpful in teaching children discipline, respect, work ethic, and the value of a dollar.\u00a0 All four of our children worked through high school and we believe it has made them much more successful and happier in their adult lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
