Drake Biolo F R Manson Dream Endowed Scholarship Dave Lytle, B.S. 2014 management graduate, established this scholarship with his wife, Colleen, in memory of his grandfather. Dave’s grandfather only had a third-grade education but he, and others like him, helped build this country. He always knew that he missed out by quitting school early and he wanted his children, and later grandchildren, to graduate high school, which was the measure of success for someone born in his era of the 1890’s. Most of his grandchildren, and great grandchildren that he never knew, have now graduated from college! This scholarship was established in his memory for returning adults and non-traditional students at UW-Stout. The annual award is $1,000. Emily Harley
