BOARD MEMBERS

The SAUK PRAIRIE FOUNDATION FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE is a nonprofit organization. Its purpose is to raise and distribute, through a proper selection process, financial aid to students aspiring to higher learning.

The committee is comprised of individuals selected by their respective organizations, associations and businesses, as well as school representatives and other individuals dedicated to the Foundation cause.

Foundation members are aware that the cost of education is continuing to increase and that each year a greater percentage of our local graduates are pursuing education beyond high school. Committee members dedicate themselves to providing financial opportunities to Sauk Prairie graduates, in order for them to acquire the additional skills needed to become the future leaders of tomorrow.

The goal of the Foundation is to foster community interest in the scholarship fund. Hopefully, increased interest and awareness will create new scholarship monies from other businesses, organizations, associations, and individuals, as well as through trusts, memorials, estates, etc.

The committee members wish to thank those who have joined with them in providing the funds presently available and ask for their continued support. They invite those who have not, to join them in providing more scholarship funds, needed to give greater support and recognition to students seeking a higher education. If you have any questions or if you wish to become a part of the Foundation, please contact a member of the committee.
