The Owatonna Foundation was honored with a significant donation from June and Melanie Nelson in 2015.
Executive Director, Angela Wagner, expressed the Owatonna Foundation’s appreciation for these scholarships, “We wish to thank the Nelson family, especially June and Melanie, for this wonderful opportunity to offer these scholarships to women in our community. Without generous donations from our supporters we would not be able to help students in Owatonna fulfill their dreams of attending college”.
There is an additional Nelson Family Scholarship Deadline for women returning to school in the Spring on October 25, 2022. Applications and more information about our scholarships are available www.owatonnafoundation.org or by calling the Owatonna Foundation Office at 507-455-2295.
