For the Tomahawk Leader<\/strong><\/p>\n

NORTHCENTRAL WISCONSIN \u2013 The Park City Cares Foundation, part of Park City Credit Union, recently approved grants for local technical colleges and awarded scholarships to high school students in the community.<\/p>\n

A release from the Foundation said the goal of the financial contributions is to \u201cenhance the community by providing opportunities for financial literacy and educational growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne way in which the Foundation achieves this mission is by offering scholarship and grant opportunities to students and community-based projects,\u201d the Foundation stated.<\/p>\n

According to the release, the Foundation has awarded $2,500.00 in scholarships to area high school students to date.<\/p>\n

In Nov. 2022, the Foundation granted $3,400.00 to the STEM Center at Northcentral Technical College in Wausau to fund a desktop CNC machine.<\/p>\n

The STEM Center at Northcentral Technical College is a hands-on learning space that features advanced technology, collaborative learning spaces, 3D printing, a science lab and nanotechnology.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new CNC machine gives younger students the ability to manufacture projects without having to travel to larger labs,\u201d the Foundation stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to hearing how the desktop CNC machine brings awareness and strengthens the STEM programs in our community,\u201d said Foundation President Jack Mikunda.<\/p>\n
