Brynn Peterson, a student at Minnesota West Community and Technical College and a resident of Blue Mound Tower, was awarded a $1,000 scholarship through the local housing authority.
Tammy Johnson, director of the Luverne HRA and Blue Mound Tower, nominated Peterson for the scholarship.
“Brynn is so deserving of this award,” Johnson said in her recommendation to the Minnesota National Association of Housing and Redevelopment.
“She really has embraced living at the Tower and Luverne in general. She represents all the qualities deserving of this award. It took her no time in finding a part-time job at Bomgaars. She also nannies and dog-sits for folks in town. Everyone at the Tower knows and loves her. She’s a friend to all.”
The scholarships are for residents of publicly owned housing units or participants in a rent assistance program and may be used for educational expenses associated with attending a post-secondary education program.
Peterson, originally from Ruthton, is studying to be a medical lab technician at the Luverne Learning Center of Minnesota West Community and Technical College where she also serves as student senate president.
“This is a positive reflection on the relationship Blue Mound Tower has with Minnesota West,” Johnson said about Peterson’s scholarship.
