Annual and Endowed Scholarships

Donald and Ann Ritzinger Zittleman Scholarship Donald Arthur (BS ‘1955, MS ‘1956) and Ann Ritzinger Zittleman (1955) met and married while attending Stout Institute. Don took time out of his college education to serve in Japan in the Army as a heavy machinery mechanic during the Korean Conflict. He was honorably discharged and returned to Stout to finish his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Don taught in Allen Park, Michigan his entire career, where he helped to design the high school’s Industrial Arts Program which was then used as a pattern for other area schools. Ann worked in hospitals as a Registered Dietician throughout her career. She was also a member of the Board of the Michigan Dietetic Association and a nutrition spokesperson on local TV. As proud Stout graduates they rarely missed a class reunion, returning to Wisconsin each summer. Each was the first in their families to attend college, and they set an example for their children and grandchildren. This scholarship is for career- minded students at the undergraduate or graduate level in the areas of Dietetics, Technology Education, Engineering Technology, or Career & Technical Education. Applicants must have strong drive and financial need, a 3.0 GPA in the area of their field, and participation in a professional organization of their field. They should have demonstrated leadership potential as evidenced by participation in student or community activities. The annual awards are $3,000. Matthew Blake Rachel E. Erickson Blain Schmidt
