Julie Harrison, a Professional School Counseling graduate student, has been selected by the Minnesota School Counselors Association for the 2006 Potential School Counselor Scholarship.
This is the third consecutive year in which a Minnesota State Mankato Professional School Counseling graduate student has won the scholarship. Harrison received the award at the Minnesota School Counselor Association's annual meeting in Brainerd this week.
The scholarship is presented annually to an outstanding individual pursuing a master's degree in school counseling. Harrison, from Mankato, is enrolled in the Professional School Counseling program at Minnesota State Mankato and will graduate May 13.
Professional school counselors and counselor educators cited Harrison's intelligence, compassion and interpersonal sensitivity, as well as her commitment to abused and underprivileged children, as primary reasons for her selection.
In addition to her school counseling accomplishments, Harrison is a published author and has a master of fine arts degree from Minnesota State Mankato. She currently is working on a novel about child abuse and resiliency.
