œBecause Âé¶¹Ô­´´ is only 30 miles from my hometown, it was the perfect location go back and forth to school. I could also take care of my livestock. In addition, attending Âé¶¹Ô­´´ cost must less than going to a larger university.

After college Jarrel plans to earn a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. œAside from Âé¶¹Ô­´´ lower tuition compared to a four-year school, scholarships have been a huge blessing to me. I have been able to pay my way through my Associate without taking out student loans. I want to thank those who give to institutions for various scholarships. Your contributions do not go to waste.

Jarrel received the David and Jamie Nienhuis Scholarship and Darling Family Scholarship.
