PaceSetters Scholarship Program

Each year we award four $500 scholarships and one $500 Mark Werner Scholarship to high school seniors involved in track or cross country. Mark was a member of PaceSetters for many years and was a 1975 graduate of Appleton East.

We start accepting submissions on January 1st each year through April 30th.
Stay tuned for our scholarship program next year!

And sometimes we are so humbled and honored to get notes like this.

"I just want to thank you guys so much for this generous scholarship. It truly means a lot to me when trying to accomplish the big goals I have for myself in the future. I really appreciate your scholarship because track has made me into the individual I am today. Your generosity will help kickstart the many years of schooling I have ahead of me."
