Honoring Local Students Who Lead with Heart
At Unison Credit Union, we believe in the power of people helping people—and that includes supporting students who are working hard to make a difference in their schools and communities.
Each year, we award the John Aman Memorial Scholarship to graduating high school seniors who show leadership, kindness, and a heart for service. This year, we’re proud to award four students with a $2,000 scholarship to help them take the next step in their education.
Lauren Verkuilen – Little Chute High School
Lauren is heading to the University of Wisconsin–River Falls to study Pre-Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science. She’s volunteered more than 750 hours through Journey Together Service Dogs and has been active in National Honor Society, DECA, and Key Club. Lauren lives out the idea of “people helping people” in everything she does.
Caden Graff – Kaukauna High School
Caden will be attending the University of Wisconsin–Madison to study Finance. He’s been involved in National Honor Society and Ghost Crew, and he’s known for being a hard worker, a strong leader, and someone who always brings a positive attitude—whether it’s in class or on the basketball court.
Brynn Bousley – Wrightstown High School
Brynn is heading to the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point to major in Interior Architecture and Design. As a team captain for both volleyball and basketball, and a member of FBLA, Brynn is a natural leader. She’s always finding ways to help others through volunteering at school, her church, and in the community.
Caleb Podgorski – Wrightstown High School
Caleb will attend Winona State University to study Pre-Law. He’s been a three-sport athlete and a dedicated volunteer with Inspire Camp, FBLA, and his church. Caleb believes that making a difference isn’t always about big actions—it’s about showing up, offering kindness, and being there for others.
These four students are incredible examples of what it means to lead with heart. We can’t wait to see where their journeys take them next!
