Clickstop owes much of its success to the support of its community.

With gratitude, we continue to pay it forward by supporting the growth and development of local high school students through the Dream Big Scholarship.

Now in its fifth year, this scholarship recognizes students who align with Clickstop’s Core Values, actively contribute to their community, and enjoy life along the way.

We are excited to recognize outstanding students in our community and help them continue to “Dream Big and Make It Happen.” To be considered for the Dream Big Scholarship, students must meet the following requirements:

• A high school junior or senior
• Minimum GPA of 2.7
• Be one of the following:
  • Current Vinton-Shellsburg High School Student
  • Current Center Point-Urbana High School Student
  • Current Clickstop employee
  • Child of a Clickstop employee

This year, we’ve selected four students who will each receive a $500 scholarship to support them as they pursue education after high school.

The 2022 Dream Big Scholarship recipients are:

• Chase Ripple, Vinton-Shellsburg Community School District
• Katelyn Hyland, Vinton-Shellsburg Community School District
• Samantha Walton, Vinton-Shellsburg Community School District

Chase Ripple, VSCSD

“During the COVID shut down, I was courageous and chose to be impactful in the time of need.  Fareway employees were considered essential workers.  I had some goals and set out to accomplish them during that time of school shutdowns.  Instead of sitting at home, I was working 30-40 hours a week at Fareway along with keeping up with my online school work.”

Katelyn Hyland, VSCSD

“I feel that relationships are built on communication with others in an uplifting and enthusiastic manner.  The Clickstop Core Values define ideal character, and although I am not perfect, these are values that I strive to achieve.”

Samantha Walton, VSCSD

“Being a hard worker is something that I pride myself in because even if I am not the best at something if I put in the time and work to get better, there will be progress. Throughout my personal experiences, I have learned that someone who is naturally really good at something but doesn’t work hard is not nearly as valuable to a team as someone who is a hard worker.”

Ashlyn Wilkins, CPUCSD

“I’ve come to realize that the final result is not always the most important. The journey itself, what is learned along the way and experiences gained, is most important.”
