Jacob Dylan Mihelich, Full Tuition Impact Scholarship

Finance and Accounting

 

I am looking forward to attending Michigan Tech because I’ve grown up in the area and I have been exposed to Michigan Tech and all it has to offer since I was a young age. I love living in the area and being surrounded by the surreal natural beauty the area has to offer while staying close to my family. After obtaining my degree, I am thinking of working in the banking industry or opening my own business. In my free time I enjoy volunteering, theater, kayaking, and camping.
