Joyce Hawes Memorial Scholarship

The Joyce Hawes Memorial Scholarship has been established to provide support for those women of Rock County who face barriers that make the pursuit of post-secondary education especially challenging.  The scholarship seeks to reward, in particular, those special young women who see education as a means to benefit not only themselves, but also their families and their communities.  Preference will be given to applicants who face the kind of challenges that often limit access to higher education. ​​

Josh STROH SCHOLARSHIP

This scholarship was created to remember and celebrate the life of Josh Stroh. Josh was a freshman at Luverne High School when he passed away.  He had a love for sports but his favorite was baseball.  Being part of a team and the brotherhood of teammates was what he enjoyed most.  The boys in red and white knew that Josh would be the teammate that put moral support at the top of the batting order every game. Rest in peace #8.

​The Rock County Community Foundation (RCCF) formerly Luverne Area Community Foundation, started in 1984 as a healthcare foundation to help support the needs of the local hospital.  It became a community foundation with a broader mission in 2008 supporting the needs of Rock County.  To be inclusive of this mission the name was updated in 2026 with the same continued mission; to be a resource where ideas get unstuck and a thriving culture of giving is nurtured.
