Anonymous Donor Funds Four Trade Scholarships | Duluth News

An anonymous donor just dropped $80,000 into the Gilbert VFW’s scholarship fund—turning a modest $500 annual award into four life-changing $20,000 scholarships for local students pursuing trades like construction and mechanics. This game-changing gift, aimed at building the backbone of the community, could cover tuition and tools, opening doors to careers these students might not have otherwise accessed. Applications open in October for students from Cherry, Mountain Iron-Buhl, Rock Ridge, and Mesabi East—proof that hidden generosity can reshape futures.
