Student Successes
Willow Newell ’25
“Winning the Spring 2022 Transfer Scholarship has given me the opportunity to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre debt free! The Wiggan-Kenniebrew experiential learning scholarship funded my first J Term Study tour to Tanzania, Africa in 2023 to learn about world religions and culture!”
Lin Sensenbrenner ’26
“I chose to attend Carthage for a variety of reasons, including the scholarships presented to me. I received one of the Hay Presidential Scholarships. For me, this scholarship meant that the college saw potential in me, even if I don’t always see it in myself. This has been a very empowering experience. This scholarship was also what gave me the financial boost that I needed to be able to attend Carthage.”
Juan Alberto Gómez-Solis ’25
“I chose Carthage because of its location (10 minutes away from my home), the J-Term study tours, and the small classes. I received the Modern Languages Scholarship for Spanish, and $22,000 was applied toward my tuition! This scholarship is a huge deal to me because I am a first-generation student. All my years of hard work, from elementary school to high school, finally paid off.”
Justin Lee Wheeler ’25
“I received the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium Undergraduate Research Award for undergraduates pursuing space-related studies. My favorite moment has been getting to fly on a Zero-G parabolic flight. This means I was in a plane that was falling straight toward the ground, producing the effect of zero gravity for all in the plane cabin. This was my first research flight and the greatest experience of my life.”
Kiannah Hayes ’25
“I have received many scholarships, and I am thankful for all of them! The one I hold dear to my heart is the Black Student Union Scholarship. I’ve been a member of the Black Student Union since my freshman year and am now the BSU Vice President.”
Amber Janke ’25
“The scholarships I have received while at Carthage have provided me the opportunities to make lifelong relationships with faculty and staff, grow spiritually, and encourage intellectual curiosity which will leave a lifelong impact on me.”
