2020 New Hope Scholarship awarded
A Hartland woman has been chosen to receive the $5,000 New Hope Scholarship for 2020 from the Women and Girls Fund of Waukesha County.

Michelle Leaman, a single mother of two who graduated this year from Waukesha County Technical College’s Human Service Associate Degree Program, will use the funds to pursue a bachelor’s degree at Ottawa University.
The New Hope Scholarship was created by Tom and Karie Stupek to ease the financial barrier of tuition for women returning to school seeking a chance at a better life through education. The Stupeks established the scholarship to support women who have faced obstacles in realizing their dreams, and to celebrate the strength and resilience of the proud women of Waukesha County.

Leaman, who holds down a full-time position as an assistant manager at a Hartland café in addition to attending school full time, also volunteers at the Hartland Food Pantry. She completed an internship at Lad Lake, a juvenile detention center.
