Investing in Education Strengthens Our Community

WE LOVE HELPING STUDENTS REACH THEIR DREAMS & GOALS.

Wolf River Community Bank is dedicated to empowering local students by supporting their academic and professional journeys. Each year, we offer three $1,500 scholarships, awarded to one graduating senior from each of the Hortonville, New London, and Shiocton school districts. These scholarships honor students who excel academically, contribute to their communities, and aspire to pursue a degree at an accredited technical school, college, or university.

2026 Applications are Closed.

Applications for the 2026 scholarship were due by April 1st. We will announce scholarship recipients at the Hortonville High School, New London High School, and Shiocton High School’s award ceremonies in May.

Best of luck to the 2026 graduating class as they take the next steps towards their future!

Eligibility Requirements

  • Graduating senior from Hortonville High School, New London High School, or Shiocton High School
  • Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.00 or higher
  • Pursuing a degree at an accredited technical school, college, or university that can be applied within the banking industry, including supporting areas—such as human resources, marketing, IT, or other key business operations
  • Completion of at least 20 hours of community service

Ensuring a Fair Review Process

Every application is evaluated using the same standardized rubric to maintain a fair and consistent review process. If an employee’s child applies and meets the eligibility criteria, their application will be reviewed by an external committee—consisting of local school counselors, teachers, and other pertinent community members—to ensure impartiality.
