A former student of the Mid-Prairie Community School District has been selected as one of five recipients of a highly competitive Luther College scholarship. Emily Righter, now a junior at Luther College, has been awarded a $1,000 Karen Julesberg Scholarship for her academic achievement and campus involvement. The Karen Julesberg Scholarship recognizes first-generation, income-eligible, and disabled students involved in the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program at Luther. At Luther, Righter majors in neuroscience, and plans to pursue a career as a clinical trial coordinator. The Karen Julesberg Scholarship has been sponsored by Karen Julesberg herself since 2012.
