Our Scholarship 2025 Reception

Reflecting on Our Roots, Rising Through Education

On June 21, 2025, Our Scholarship hosted its first-ever Madison Annual Reception at the beautiful Goodman Community Center—bringing together 100 community members, students, partners, and supporters from across Wisconsin. For the first time in our organization’s history, we chose a central location to ensure scholars and families from every region could gather, connect, and celebrate statewide.

This year’s theme, “Reflecting on Our Roots, Rising Through Education,” highlighted the resilience, achievements, and cultural pride of Hmong and Southeast Asian students. Guests arrived in business casual and ethnic attire, filling the room with color, joy, and intergenerational pride.

A Celebration of Community + Scholarship

Throughout the afternoon, attendees enjoyed:

  • A welcoming lunch and open community networking

  • Dance performance

  • Scholar recognition and storytelling

  • Cultural connection, reflection, and educational inspiration

The event honored both the journeys of our scholars and the collective support system behind them—families, mentors, donors, and partners who believe deeply in educational success.
