Every year, Hennepin Scholars are recognized with scholarship funds contributed by generous Hennepin members.

Here are our twelve 2024 Hennepin Scholars. These students are attending institutions across the country, pursuing programs in a variety of subject areas. Their talents and energies are inspiring! This year’s recipients include three daughter-mother student combinations.

The scholarships provide both encouragement and financial assistance for students in pursuing their dreams. In application essays, the students highlight their educational and career goals and how scholarships will help finance their plans. The comments reflect not only their ambitions and planning, but also their heart-felt interest in serving others and appreciation for Hennepin Avenue UMC.

Contributions to Hennepin Scholars funds are welcome anytime. For more information, contact Jack Fistler, Director of Legacy Giving: [email protected].
