Delaney Harris plans to be a doctor. An anesthesiologist, to be exact. She knows where she wants to pursue her medical degree and her medical specialty. She knows it’s a long journey, and she’s glad she started it at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

“College is definitely a big investment, especially the graduate programs. I have 12 years ahead of me,” Harris said.

She is among more than 600 first-year students to receive $1,000 merit scholarships to attend UW-Stevens Point.

“That amount of money really helps. It gives me the ability to focus on school,” she said.

The Wisconsin Rapids-Lincoln graduate knows all about hard work. She grew up on a dairy farm near Rudolph and begins her day at 5 a.m., milking cows before heading to Stevens Point for class.
