John H. Anglin Scholarship – Natalie Linnemeier
John H. Anglin Scholarship
Every year, Kosciusko REMC awards ten $1,000 scholarships to go towards the recipient’s chosen institution of higher education for the upcoming school year. Concern for Community is one of KREMC’s core principles, and investing in our local college students is one way we do this every year. Read on to see how this scholarship has impacted one of our recipients, Natalie Linnemeier.
Can you introduce yourself and where you are attending school?
My name is Natalie Linnemeier. I am a senior attending the University of Saint Francis.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your educational journey?
I am in the Education program in hopes to teach middle school English or math after graduation. I have always loved making a difference on kids’ lives and what better place to do so than in the classroom. In my free time I coach a middle school basketball team in late fall through the winter. I am also coaching for Concordia High Schools’ girls flag football team. I play piano and guitar and give lessons every Tuesday. This year, I have a placement in a fourth-grade classroom where I will also be student teaching in the spring. I am also an active substitute teacher in the NACS district.
How did you hear about the scholarship program?
I originally heard of this scholarship through social media. I follow Questa on Instagram and they repost scholarship opportunities which is how I found out about this one.
How did receiving this scholarship make a difference in your educational path?
With FAFSA cuts this year, I was unsure of what my tuition would look like. However, with the help of this scholarship, it helps lessen the financial burden that college tuition has and allows me to focus more on my schoolwork rather than how to come up with the additional money for tuition.
What are some key things you have achieved during your time as a student?
