ADRIAN, Mich., June 17, 2025
The Lenawee Community Foundation is proud to announce the award of over $400,000 in scholarships to more than 200 students from across Lenawee County.
These scholarships represent more than just financial assistance, they reflect the power of community, generosity, and belief in the potential of every student.
To celebrate this meaningful milestone, scholarship recipients and fund holders gathered for a special reception hosted by the Foundation on June 13. The event provided an opportunity for students and donors to connect, share stories, and reflect on the life-changing impact of these educational investments. Brief remarks were shared by Brodie Stipe, a student recipient, Barb Eisenmann, a fund holder, and Bronna Kahle, President & CEO of the Lenawee Community Foundation.
“These scholarships aren’t just about helping students pay for college or career training,” said Kahle. “They’re about opening doors, honoring legacies, and creating opportunities that will benefit our community for years to come.”
One of this year’s recipients shared how meaningful the support is:
“I am honored to be selected for the Frederick Kindinger Scholarship,” Thia Tello said. “I am beyond grateful for this opportunity and am excited to learn and grow as an individual in the years to come.”
Scholarship funds at the Lenawee Community Foundation help students overcome financial barriers and pursue higher education with confidence. These funds are often established in memory of loved ones or in honor of family and community values. Each one offers not just financial help, but hope, encouragement, and a lasting connection between donors and the students they support.
These funds preserve legacies and support futures. They offer financial support as well as hope, encouragement, and the message that our community believes in its young people. For the Love of Lenawee.
