Kate Mantyh and Jennifer Line receive 2010 Sharon Schumer Memorial Scholarship

Pro-Life Wisconsin is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2010 Sharon Schumer Memorial Scholarship: Kate Mantyh of Milwaukee, who attended Seton Home Study School, and Jennifer Line of Wausau, who attended Newman Catholic High School.

The Sharon Schumer Scholarship rewards Wisconsin youth for pro-life service and encourages them to be soldiers for life on their college campuses. Both Kate and Jennifer demonstrated exemplary leadership by increasing peer involvement in public witness at their local chemical and surgical abortion centers.

Kate will be attending Loras College and Jennifer will be attending the University of Wisconsin Marathon County next year, where they will continue their already substantial pro-life efforts.


Kate and Jennifer have been recognized and honored at their respective senior award or graduation ceremony in their communities. In addition, the Pro-Life Wisconsin Education Task Force has awarded them each $500 their first year of college. They will be awarded an additional $500 their second year, pending continued pro-life leadership on their college campuses.

Pro-Life Wisconsin congratulates Kate and Jennifer and thanks all the worthy applicants for their dedication to the pro-life cause.

High school juniors are encouraged to envision themselves as the winner of the 2011 Sharon Schumer Memorial Scholarship. Contact Pro-Life Wisconsin by emailing info@prolifewisconsin.org or visit ProLifeWisconsin.org to find out how to apply for next year’s scholarships.
