Happy Pride Month! Every Wallin Scholar deserves to show up fully as themselves in the classroom, in their career, and in the community. This month and every month, we celebrate the power, resilience, and brilliance of our LGBTQ+ scholars and allies. There is power in being yourself.
Wallin’s 2026 Scholar Celebration video is here!
This year, we’re shining light on one of the most important parts of our work: the relationships between Wallin Scholars and their advisors.
Through personalized advising, holistic support, and a community that believes in them, scholars gain more than financial assistance. They gain guidance, encouragement, and support as they go from college to career.
Take four minutes out of your day to be inspired by these beautiful souls who show us how connection helps Wallin Scholars move forward with confidence.

Karin knows firsthand what support can make possible. As a former Wallin Scholar and Community Scholarship Fund donor, her story is a reminder that when a community shows up for students, it creates opportunity for someone to move forward.
The Community Scholarship Fund brings individual gifts together to make Wallin’s financial support, advising, and career development possible for one more scholar. At a time when so many students are navigating uncertainty, that support can make all the difference.

This AAPI Heritage Month, we’re celebrating stories that move communities forward.
Sunisa Lee made history as the first Hmong American Olympic gold medalist, and her story began right here in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her success is a powerful reminder that representation matters, especially for students who deserve to see their identities, cultures, and communities reflected in the possibilities ahead.
At Wallin, we’re honored to support students and alumni whose stories, leadership, and future impact continue to shape our community.

Last Thursday, we hosted our Kickstart Your Career event, creating space for Wallin Scholars to strengthen their resumes, gain practical career insights, and learn from professionals as they prepare for what’s next.
We’re grateful to Genesys Works and Dougherty Family College for supporting this event, and to Katie Selby and James Cooper for sharing their knowledge, encouragement, and experience.
Opportunities like these provide scholars with meaningful support as they define their goals and prepare for their future.

Last week, Wallin advisors Mia and Firi traveled to Washington, D.C. to visit our 14 Howard scholars.
They met with students on campus, connected with staff, and toured Howard University—building relationships that support scholar success. They also hosted a group outing so students could connect and build community.
While in D.C., they caught up with Wallin’s President & CEO, Mohamed Sallam, who was in town for a conference.
Experiences like this highlight how advising and strong relationships help scholars thrive, both in college and beyond.
