2024 SMSU President's Regional Scholars Full-Ride Recipient: Ella Knakmuhs

Welcome to the Mustang Family! Ella Knakmuhs, from Westbrook, MN, (WWG Schools) is one of this year’s recipients of the full-ride scholarship through the SMSU President’s Regional Scholars Program.

Each year, four full-ride scholarships are awarded to high-achieving students within the southwest Minnesota region as the top tier of awards of the President’s Regional Scholars Award program.

Launched in 2019, the Regional Scholars program features seven scholarship levels that range from $2,000 to a full ride over four years. The students were selected through a combination of their outstanding academic achievements and interviews with SMSU faculty, staff, and President Kumara Jayasuriya.

Ella plans on studying English Education at SMSU this Fall. Congratulations Ella!
