Local students receive scholarships at CVTC

EAU CLAIRE – Over 240 Chippewa Valley Technical College students were awarded more than $130,000 in scholarships recently when the CVTC Foundation hosted its annual Scholarship Awards Receptions.

At the events, scholarship recipients were paired at tables with representatives from the families or organizations that generously donated the scholarship funds. Often donors create scholarship funds to memorialize a loved one, or support a cause, but it all comes down to making a difference in the lives of the recipients.
