Now in its 14th year, the RRCF Scholarship program has awarded nearly 70 scholarships and supports recent high school graduates in the Northeast region pursuing STEM fields of study.
“It is a privilege to support these exceptional students, get to know what drives them and learn about the goals and vision they have for their futures,” said Dan McGee, Red River COO. “The STEM field is growing larger every day and we are honored to help start these students on their journey to a rewarding and challenging career.”
This year’s scholarship recipients included eight students from area schools:
Jackson Balch, from Hartford High School, attending University of Minnesota: Twin Cities

To be considered for this scholarship, students must demonstrate qualities of good character and must submit an essay on a given topic about technology. RRCF rates each application on creativity and overall quality of the essay, extent of the student’s financial need, their involvement with extracurricular activities including community service and whether their grades demonstrate the behaviors of a conscientious student. Students are encouraged to pursue internships and full time careers at Red River as they work through their collegiate studies.
