  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Wallin 
Education Partners for the work they are doing to ensure that 
Minnesotans from all walks of life receive a college education.
  Since 1992, Wallin Education Partners has provided scholarships to 
Twin Cities high school students who excelled in academics but are from 
low-income families. This year alone, Wallin Education Partners has 
awarded a scholarship to twenty students in Minnesota's Sixth 
Congressional District so that they may receive the education they 
deserve.
  Along with the financial assistance, Wallin Education Partners also 
helps students utilize all of the resources available to them during 
their college experience, often assisting them until they graduate.
  Due to the support that Wallin Education Partners provides annually, 
it is anticipated that we will be seeing more students from low-income 
families graduate from college. All students deserve access to quality 
education, regardless of their means and upbringing, and this 
organization is a great tool for students across this great state.
  I am incredibly thankful to Wallin Education Partners for giving 
worthy students the chance to gain an education and fulfill their 
dreams. By providing some of the best and brightest in our state with 
the key to an education, you are not just ensuring the success of our 
students, but the success of our nation as a whole. Your contributions 
have not gone unnoticed and they are enormously appreciated.
  Congratulations to: Yana Aleksandrova, Issraa El-khatib, Carissa 
Gillispie, John Hilst, Kevin Huynh, Emily Johnson, Jenna Kallestad, 
Elias Kinfu, Baker LaMott, Gentry Musgrove, Taylor O'Neill, Jeremy 
Schipper, Eryn Schlotfeldt, Thomas Shoegren, Randall Skeate, Tenzin 
Sonam, Kayla Tanner, Emily Vang, Madeline Walker, and Joseph Zuleger.
  We look forward to seeing what the future brings for this year's 
recipients.
