Three members of the Madison High School Class of 2021, who are now freshmen at Dakota State University in Madison, have been presented Step-Up scholarships from the Madison Central School Educational Foundation. The Foundation presented the scholarships to Alexis King, Johanna Coffey, and Sophia VandenBosch.

Since the Step-Up for Scholars program has been in place, 161 students have received scholarships.

Madison residents and businesses can sign up to participate in the Step-Up Scholarship Program allowing the City Finance Office to round up their monthly municipal utility bill to the nearest whole dollar. The most a customer could pay in one year is $11.88. The average participant’s round-up totals between six and seven dollars per year. The money is put into the Step-Up Scholarship Fund and awarded in the form of scholarships to MHS students in good standing attending DSU.
