The Sterbenz-Ryan Scholarship was established in 2016 by local businessmen Richard Sterbenz and Martin Ryan who wanted to "give kids like them a shot at life they never had." Scholarships will be offered to eligible traditional and non-traditional students who otherwise may not have the opportunity to attend a public post-secondary school in Minnesota or Wisconsin due to challenging life circumstances and financial constraints. If you are renewing your Sterbenz-Ryan Scholarship, you must enter a provided access code. Applicants must be graduating seniors or non-traditional students seeking scholarship to attend any public Minnesota or Wisconsin college (technical, community, university). Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the St. Croix Valley Foundation for more information.
