I'm excited to give back to the people of South Dakota.
Thank you for the scholarship money as I pursue my degree in Heavy Equipment Operator. I am excited to learn a skill and give back to the people of South Dakota by building, roads, bridges and helping in their safe travel. I plan upon graduation to seek employment in South Dakota. The money will help with the tuition costs as I earn my degree. I appreciate the opportunity.

This Motivates Me to Be My Best
As a 35-year-old disabled combat veteran, husband, and father of three amazing children, the decision to go back to school was not easy. Being able to tell my friends and family that I received a scholarship further motivates me to keep doing my absolute best.
