MITCHELL, S.D. – Many of the region’s top high school students
have been awarded Dakota Wesleyan University’s highest academic
scholarships for the fall 2010 semester.
During the Heritage Day scholarship event Feb. 15, students with outstanding
academic records, service activities and leadership potential were invited
to campus to meet with faculty, staff and students, learn about the Learn
Strong initiative and further investigate the opportunities DWU has to
offer them both academically and co-curricularly. A luncheon honoring
all Heritage Day participants and their families closed out the program.
Many students participated in individual interviews and toured campus
as well.
Students were recognized as Randall Scholars, DWU’s highest academic
and leadership honor; as Trustee Scholars, the second highest academic
and leadership honor; Presidential Scholars, Heritage Award winners in
learning, leadership, faith or service in recognition of school, community
and church leadership; and the Bishop Leadership Award, with recognition
of commitment to youth leadership within the United Methodist Church.
The following is a complete list of all recipients for the 2010-2011
school year.
