Scholarship Recipients
He was the best friend, the best athlete, and the best role models anyone could ask for. Winning this award showed me how blessed I am to being one step closer to being a better person like Cole. Cole James Philhower will never be forgotten and he will continue to help guide others on and off the field like he did with me.
Cole will continue to live on through our memories and it was a blessing to have known him. He will continue to watch over the Kettle Moraine Lacrosse Team like he did this year when we brought home our first State Championship! #CP49
The scholarship has helped me to bring Coles memory into a new stage of my life and made me incredibly proud to move forward in his name!
Every day I just hope that I will be able to make him proud too.
I have been continuing my education at the University of Milwaukee-Wisconsin studying Kinesiology, and that’s where the scholarship has helped me immensely. This scholarship gave me the opportunity to pay for my first semester in full without any loans.
I am thankful for being awarded one of the Cole Philhower Scholarships. It has made a tremendous difference to me and my family. By receiving this scholarship it has allowed me to take new opportunities that would have otherwise been a financial difficulty.
They’ve made a difference in our community, let us make a
difference in their lives. Join us in honoring and rewarding the
exceptional student athletes of Kettle Moraine High School.
