Katie Brommenschenkel Vilmo Scholarship accepting applications 

The Katie Brommenschenkel Vilmo Scholarship, a scholarship fund hosted by Northwest Minnesota Foundation (NMF), is seeking qualified applicants to apply for the 2024 scholarship round.

The annual scholarship supports students from school districts in Red Lake Nation, White Earth Nation, and 12 counties: Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau, as well as Hillsboro, North Dakota, who are pursuing a postsecondary education through a college, university, trade school, tech school or other accredited programs. The scholarship is intended for students who are majoring in agriculture, agriculture education or agri-related business.

The scholarship was established by the friends and family of Katie Brommenschenkel Vilmo to honor her memory and her passion for farm life. Katie, a Norman County native, enjoyed living a simple life of hard work and gratitude while she and her husband Mike worked simultaneously on their family’s farms. The family feels this scholarship will honor her legacy for agriculture and life.

Applications for the scholarship are due by April 15. The applications are to be completed online by going to: nwmf.org/grants-scholarships/scholarships.
