Annual and Endowed Scholarships

Lynn Pritchard Memorial Scholarship Lynn Pritchard was “Mr. Music” in the UW-Stout and Menomonie communities. After he died in a car accident in 1983, friends and family established this fund to provide a scholarship for a student involved in a music program. The annual award is $300. Evan Nydahl Albert J. Rakstis Scholarship Albert J. Rakstis served in the military and then enrolled at UW-Stout to obtain a master’s degree in media technology in 1969. Established through a bequest, this scholarship is awarded to a student majoring in information technology management. The annual award is $900. Rachel Erickson Hub O. and Patricia B. Ranger Endowed Packaging Scholarship Both Patricia and Hub recognized the importance of education. Patricia served as the admissions director for Cardinal Stritch College in Milwaukee. Hub held various positions in the packaging industry and established Lachat Instruments Co. in 1981. He held four patents in packaging, construction, and testing devices. Mr. Ranger was a UW-Stout PMMI professor from 1987 through 1989 and while working in that capacity, realized we lost many bright students because they lacked the finances to continue their education. This scholarship was established to provide financial assistance to talented UW-Stout packaging majors. The annual award is $2,100. Catherine McHugh
