University of Nebraska at Omaha students Michaela Schenkelberg (left) and Lydia Clark were awarded the Rhoda Davis-Blatt scholarships at the Munroe-Meyer Institute operating board meeting on Feb. 12.

Davis-Blatt, who worked as an administrative coordinator for the Munroe Foundation for nearly 30 years, presented Schenkelberg and Clark with the money to put toward their education.

Schenkelberg, an exercise science major at UNO, plans to attend physical therapy school following graduation. Because of her experiences with the recreation therapy department at MMI, she would like to work with children with disabilities.

Clark said MMI is the reason she chose to double major in speech pathology and art therapy.

“The kids at MMI have helped me to see the whole world more positively,” she said.
