July 9, 2012EAU CLAIRE — Natali Aranda, Racine, who will attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire this fall, has been awarded a Tim and Melissa Hoeppner Opportunity Scholarship for the 2012-13 academic year.
The Hoeppner Opportunity Scholarship, funded through the UW-Eau Claire Foundation, is awarded to incoming freshmen with great potential to be successful students and leaders but extraordinary circumstances that make paying for a college education very challenging.
