Why Do Scholarships Like Ours Matter?

Hermann Insurance believes that providing scholarships to high school students from our local communities is a powerful way to support and enhance our future. Here are some ways in which giving scholarships to high school students can help the cities and towns we serve:

Encourages Higher Education: Scholarships motivate and encourage our local high school students to pursue higher education by reducing the financial burden of tuition fees and other costs. As a result, students may be more likely to attend colleges or universities, obtain degrees, and take on skilled professions, which can ultimately improve our community’s economy.

Increases Civic Engagement: Students who receive scholarships to explore higher education opportunities often become more involved in local organizations and nonprofit groups as they become more aware of their community’s needs. They are more likely to pay it forward. This increased civic engagement can help small communities develop and grow by creating a solid network of community members committed to building a healthy and vibrant community helping generations to come.

Builds a Stronger Community: Supporting our high school student’s education and providing them with resources and opportunities sends a positive message to the community that education and personal growth are valued. We know it takes a village. As a result, it can help build a stronger community that encourages lifelong learning and positive values.

 

Why Hermann Insurance Gives Back

Overall,  we enjoy supporting high school students through scholarships, and it is a great way we can help our small communities of Minnesota and Wisconsin by expanding opportunities for education, improving the local economy’s health, promoting civic engagement, attracting talent, and building a stronger, more resilient community. We are passionate about investing in our community’s future through scholarships and creating a positive cycle of development. Our goal is to cultivate progress and growth for current and upcoming generations.
