Joseph T. and Myrtle C. Rogina Scholarship
Longtime Superior residents Joseph T. and Myrtle C. Rogina lived in a home they built on Belknap Shores, a product of Joseph’s skill and knowledge of the trades. They were teachers in Superior, WI and Duluth, MN and valued educational opportunities for all. Myrtle envisioned this scholarship to honor Joseph’s dedication as a counselor, teacher and administrator for vocational education in the Superior Public Schools and to support students choosing careers in the trades.
This scholarship awards $2500 each semester to a student on the Superior campus in the second half of a trades program.
Impact
It is an honor to be chosen for the Joseph T. & Myrtle C. Rogina scholarship. I am currently finishing my first semester of the welding program at Northwood Tech. Thanks to your support, I am now able to spend more time focusing on my studies, and less time working; and this means more than you know. After I graduate, I plan to begin training at Genesis Attachments, which has been my employer for the past two years. In the future, I plan to start my own heavy equipment/welding business. Once again, thank you for giving me some light when the past year for me has been full of darkness with the loss of my cousin, Grandpa, and good friend. It’s hard to put into words the gratitude I feel. Megan W.
