The Kenneth and Concetta Schoen Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance for students with potential from the four public high schools in Duluth (Denfeld, East, Harbor City International School and the Area Learning Center).
The scholarship helps students who have financial need and who are “late bloomers,” meaning a little late starting college or those who turned around their academic prospects while in high school. Students may use the award at any two- or four-year college or university.
Kenneth and Concetta Schoen of Duluth established the fund to help students who have not consistently displayed high academic ability in the classroom but who have the potential to successfully complete postsecondary work and would otherwise be financially unable to attend a college or university.
