In 2019, the graduating class of the public high school in Luck, Wisconsin was shocked to find out that their college tuition was going to be paid for. The small town had 34 seniors looking to graduate during the 2018-2019 school year, all of whom were eligible for financial help from a banker with a self-made fortune who came from the area.
Dennis Frandsen, born and raised in Luck, grew his banking company, Frandsen Bank and Trust, to expand all throughout the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Years later, he decided to give back to his hometown.
