Foremost Media has awarded scholarships annually since 2019. We're proud to showcase our scholarship recipients. Congratulations and best of luck moving forward!
Kooper is a graduate from Milton High School who has been coding games on his tablet since fifth grade. During the peak of COVID-19, he used his passion for technology to code Minecraft Servers for revenue. He conceptualized a game mode worth $700,000 and made around $20,000 from his servers.
During his junior year, Kooper designed an app called “Milton Relay” that features laude point calculation, absence tracking, and parent-teacher communication for school. He placed fourth in the nation and first in the state during coding competitions. In addition, Kooper and his friend created a website for the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). So far, they have placed first at regionals and state.
One skill he’s learned about web design is user retention by making navigation items easy to use. Kooper aspires to start his own software company after graduating from college with a degree in Computer Science. He also plans to get a master's degree in Machine Learning. With siblings who struggle with disabilities, Kooper aspires to build applications with AI that work for everyone and are more inclusive. We can’t wait to see where the future takes you, Kooper!
This year, we are proud to announce the selection of Savannah Jandrin as our 2023 scholarship recipient.
Savannah is a graduate of Luxemburg-Casco High School in Luxemburg, WI. As president of the National Honor Society, she exhibits strong leadership and communication skills — qualities that have made a positive impact on both her school and community. Savannah’s extracurricular activities included cross-country, chorus, dance, theater, forensics, and participation in clubs that raised money to give back to the community.
Savannah is very devoted to her family and dreams of using her creativity to inspire positivity in those around her. She will be attending St. Norbert College this fall, where she will be playing softball while pursuing a degree in Marketing.
Jacob is a graduate of Sheboygan North High School in Wisconsin and simultaneously earned an associate’s degree from Lakeshore Technical College. His passion for coding dates back to first grade; when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he answered, “Make apps!” He began teaching himself in middle school and has since branched out into programming and web development. Jacob gives his all in everything he does; he captained the robotics team, went to state for his snare drum solo in band, was named 5th best debate speaker in the state, and won Top-Boy in the County for trap. Jacob is looking forward to continuing his education at Lakeland University, where he will major in Computer Science. He believes his possibilities are limitless. Based on his track record, we think so, too!
Mckenna is a graduate of Milton (Wisconsin) High School. Marketing became a passion after a part-time job as a Marketing Associate, where she learned how to create and edit dynamic training videos, infographics, and PowerPoint presentations.

Fiona’s zest for business and the possibilities inspired all of us here at Foremost to reach out and do more. UMN is lucky to have you as a student!
