Waukesha County since 2004!

New Hope Scholarship awarded

A Waukesha woman has been chosen to receive the $5,000 New Hope Scholarship for 2021 from the Women and Girls Fund (WGF) of Waukesha County.

Kambrie Frizzell, a single mother of four, will use the scholarship funds to pursue her goal of becoming a nurse. She is a student at Waukesha County Technical College and is on track to earn her degree as a licensed practical nurse in 2021 and as a registered nurse in 2022.

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. Frizzell is the fourth scholarship recipient.

Frizzell, a former cosmetologist who discovered a passion for helping people through nursing, is a certified nursing assistant at Crossroads Care Center in Pewaukee.
