The Highline Scholarship is an annual initiative that aims to invest in the future of our community by providing financial support to deserving students. This year, Graison Pare stood out among many impressive applicants for his commitment to academic excellence and his dedication to making a difference in rural communities.

One key factor in selecting Graison as the recipient of the 2024 Highline Scholarship was his personal experience with internet connectivity issues. Graison has faced challenges due to limited access to reliable internet service, especially in rural areas. Despite these challenges, Graison has shown resilience and determination, and he has committed to using his education to help improve rural communities.

"We are thrilled to award the 2024 Highline Scholarship to Graison Pare," said Bruce Moore, President of Highline Mid-West. "His passion for engineering and his dedication to making a positive impact in rural communities aligns perfectly with Highline's values. We believe that Graison has a bright future ahead of him, and we are proud to support him in his academic journey."
