The Minot Area Community Foundation (MACF) was honored to present two scholarships in memory of Brooke Nicole Schroeder to two deserving Max High School seniors during this year’s scholarship ceremony.
The Brooke Nicole Schroeder Scholarship Endowment Fund was established in 2018 through the Minot Area Community Foundation. The purpose of the fund is to provide ongoing scholarship support to Max High School students through a permanent endowment. Recipients are selected based on their participation in school activities, involvement in community and charitable organizations, and academic achievements.
This year, the Brooke Nicole Schroeder Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Delaney Hankel in recognition of her commitment to excellence both in and outside the classroom. The scholarship was awarded in the amount of $403.98, commemorating Brooke’s birthday.
Brooke is remembered by her family and friends as a loud, energetic, and compassionate individual who made a lasting impact at Max High School. She was known for her fearless spirit and was actively involved in FFA, drama, band, dance, and sports. Through this scholarship, her legacy continues to inspire future generations of students.
Additionally, the Brooke Schroeder 5K Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Gracie Hauf in the amount of $150. This scholarship is funded through proceeds from the annual Brooke Schroeder 5K Memorial Run/Walk, held each August. The event brings the community together to celebrate Brooke’s life and helps support local students in her memory.
Both scholarships serve as a lasting tribute to Brooke’s influence on the Max community and her enduring legacy of leadership, service, and school spirit.
