COMMUNITY CHOICE FOUNDATION
Scholarships
Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship recipients! These deserving scholars represent Michigan’s best and brightest in three distinct categories: graduating high school seniors, and those pursuing continuing education and skilled trades programs.
This year, we are proud to award a scholarship to Michael Stehle from Bay City, whose determination, hands-on approach to learning, and deep sense of purpose set him apart. After beginning his education at a two-year college, Michael is now transferring to Michigan Tech to pursue engineering, drawn by the school’s focus on applied learning and real-world experience. His dedication extends beyond the classroom, through volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity and Physicians Feeding Families, he has helped improve lives in his community. Michael embodies the spirit of growth and service that the Community Choice Foundation is honored to support.
