Each year the Black River Area Chamber of Commerce awards the Fern Helbling Scholarships.

Fern Helbling was a local registered nurse who passed away December 21, 1999. It was her wish that the interest earned from part of her inheritance be used to benefit local scholars. This year, a $1500 scholarship was awarded in the Business Scholarship category.

The Business Scholarship is awarded to a male or female student applicant enrolled in a four-year college of his or her choice. The student applicant must be at least a college sophomore in good standing, currently taking at least 6 credits, and enrolled in a business curriculum of his or her choice.

The recipient selected for the 2021 Business Scholarship was Lauren Perry of Black River Falls. Lauren is enrolled at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse and is pursuing Bachelor Degrees in Biology.

She will be graduating with honors in May of 2022. Future plans include attending Physician’s Assistant School. She would like to be a Physician’s Assistant one day.
