"Receiving a softball scholarship has given me an opportunity to excel in a higher level of education. First and foremost, I do not have to worry about how I am going to pay my college tuition. Also, there is enough money left over to cover my housing expenses. Being able to succeed with my college education relates hand in hand with my success on the softball field." -- Katie Duhe, Softball, Recipient of the Johnson Family Endowed Scholarship in Athletics
