"Receiving scholarships from the Nicolet College Foundation took some of the stress out of college. I was able to afford all of the materials and tuition and was less worried about transferring to the University of Madison. It was also very encouraging because it made me feel like there were people who believed in me and were investing in me and my future."

Hear from our Alumni

Meet Trista Ecklund '18 & '25

Trista graduated from Nicolet College with her Associate of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education in 2018 and earned an Autism Spectrum Disorder Certificate in 2025. As an alum and former Juday Award recipient, Trista knows how important giving back is. Now, she serves on the Nicolet College Foundation Board.

“When I received a Juday award, it was life changing. Without receiving this award, I would not have been able to continue my education, and I would have ended up not finishing my degree.”

“A donation is more than financial help; it’s a message to students that they are seen, supported, and not alone. You never know where someone is in their journey or how close they are to giving up. Your generosity can be the encouragement that keeps a student moving forward, just like it once did for me.”

"My welding certification from Nicolet College has been instrumental in shaping my professional journey as a fabricator and welding adjunct instructor. The comprehensive training I received not only equipped me with essential technical skills but also instilled in me a sense of confidence and purpose that I carry into my current roles today."
