As a native of Kenosha, choosing to attend Carthage was an easy decision for Morgan Kelsey ’27. She is able to pursue her studies as a biology major and chemistry minor while staying in the town she loves. “My favorite thing about living in Kenosha is the lake! I love how close we are, and it is an amazing place to de-stress or hang out with friends!”
With her status as a Kenosha resident, Morgan was also able to receive a Kenosha Oaks Scholarship, which is a full-tuition scholarship awarded to local students. “This scholarship has helped me and my family because without it, I wouldn’t be able to afford to attend college.”
