Scholarships, Housing Trends and Heritage Showcase Lead Sheboygan Headlines

Here’s a look at what’s making news across Sheboygan this weekend.

United One Credit Union Offers Scholarships

United One Credit Union is now accepting applications for its latest round of scholarships, giving local students a financial boost as they prepare for college. The program is open to eligible high school seniors and continuing education students in the Sheboygan area.

Officials say the goal is to support members pursuing higher education while investing back into the community. Deadlines and award amounts vary, so students are encouraged to review requirements soon as graduation season approaches.

Sheboygan Rents See Year-Over-Year Drop

There’s some welcome news for renters. A new market report shows apartment prices in Sheboygan have decreased compared to this time last year. While month-to-month shifts have been modest, the broader trend points to slightly improved affordability.

Housing advocates say even small decreases can help families balancing rising grocery, utility and transportation costs. Still, demand remains steady, and availability varies by neighborhood and unit size.

Essence of Heritage Showcase Celebrates Community

The Black American Community Outreach group is hosting its ‘Essence of Heritage’ showcase at the Weill Center, bringing music, dance and local talent to the stage. The free event celebrates Black History Month and highlights performers from across the region.

Organizers say the evening is designed to unite the community through culture and creativity, offering a family-friendly space to reflect and celebrate.

Tax Filing Help Available

With tax season underway, a local tax professional is reminding residents to watch for scams and carefully vet preparers. Free filing assistance is available for seniors and low- to moderate-income households in Sheboygan County, helping ensure returns are accurate and secure.

As always, residents are encouraged to rely on trusted local resources and avoid sharing personal information with unsolicited callers or emails.
