ENTERPRISE -- The Soroptimists of Wallowa County recently announced the winners of two scholarship awards.
Hannah Schmidtke was honored with the 2022 Fellowship Award. The Fellowship Award is a $2,000 award presented to a Wallowa County woman practicing her business or profession who is continuing her education through a postgraduate (Master’s or Ph.D.) program.
Schmidtke seeks to continue to learn, grow and develop a professional career as an influential educator and role model within her community. To that end, she is seeking a master of arts degree in elementary education, at Western Governors University. Schmidtke has served as a volleyball and basketball coach in Wallowa County, a substitute teacher and will start a position at Joseph Charter School this fall.
Gracie Niezen won the 2022 $5,000 Continuing Education Scholarship.
Niezen is currently attending OHSU School of Nursing/Eastern Oregon University. She intends to earn a bachelor of science degree in nursing, which is a three-year program located on the Eastern Oregon University campus in La Grande, and has completed two years of prerequisite coursework toward this degree. Niezen was inspired by her parents, a special education teacher and a volunteer firefighter, to pursue a service-related career. She has always been interested in nursing and did a long-term job shadow at Wallowa Memorial Hospital during her senior year in high school.
