KEWAUNEE COUNTY – The Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) Foundation is supporting local students as they prepare for the next step in their education. The foundation is now accepting applications for its annual technical college scholarships.

The WPS Foundation will award a total of $25,000 through this year’s scholarship program. Scholarships are available for high school seniors heading into a one-year technical diploma or two-year associate’s degree program.

Decades of investing in student success

Last year’s recipients are among the thousands of students the WPS Foundation has supported through its scholarship programs. In total, the foundation has donated more than $6 million to help students pursue college degrees or technical diplomas since it was founded in 1964.
