The Palmyra Chamber of Commerce selected two students from the Palmyra-Eagle High School graduating class of 2009 to receive a $250.00 scholarship.  The two students that received the scholarships were, Kourtney Mueller and Jessie Rosenow. They have now completed their first year at the higher learning school of their choice.

    Mueller, who was one of six valedictorians to graduate in her class, is now attending UW-Waukesha and has carried fifteen credits this past semester.  She plans to transfer to UW-Madison to minor in sociology and major in the animal field after she receives her Associates Degree at UW-Waukesha. “The scholarship money that I received from the Palmyra Chamber of Commerce has helped me pay for my books which are very expensive,” said Mueller.

Jessie Rosenow

    Rosenow, is also attending the UW-Waukesha and is majoring in accounting. His course load consists of an English, math, accounting and a Microsoft excel class. Rosenow plans on transferring to the UW-Whitewater where he plans on majoring in accounting.  “My advice to all high school students is to fill out all the scholarships you can,” said Rosenow.  “Just getting used books alone can cost over three hundred dollars,” he added.
