Established on 03.17.2022 by Heather (Roguske) Carver '89

Heather (Roguske) Carver ’89 grew up in Willmar and New London, MN, the younger child of Fred and Barbara Roguske. Her somewhat unexpected journey to Concordia College would prove to be one of the fondest periods of her life. Majoring in English writing and minoring in environmental science, she appreciated the caring community of faculty who took a genuine interest in her and respected her as a writer and person. She sang in choir, was involved with an outreach team and built lifelong skills and confidence that have served her well. She is especially grateful for English professors Dr. George Larson and Dr. Gordon Lell and biology professor Dr. Ron Nellermoe.

A spirit of generosity and service was ingrained in the Roguske family. Observing and joining her parents in service starting at a young age, Heather continues to seek out opportunities for impact, sharing generously. Through the creation of this schoalrship, Heather realized a hope and goal to help others receive the gift of a Concordia education and be sent forth to serve in the world.

The Heather (Roguske) Carver ’89 Endowed Scholarship is awarded by the Office of Financial Aid to one or more students of any class or major.
