2022 Scholarship Awards

Stout University Foundation Scholarships

William and Diane McKinnon Family Endowed Scholarship Bill, B.S. 1959, attended UW-Stout on the GI Bill and was an early industrial technology graduate. Bill met Diane at UW-Stout and they married in 1957. Diane worked while Bill finished his degree. Bill’s first job was at the University of Nebraska where Diane, B.S. 1961 finished her degree in fashion merchandising, clothing and design. They were fortunate to graduate without student debt. Due to the high cost of attending college, scholarships are an important financial component for students. This scholarship is awarded to a fulltime junior or senior who is a resident of the United States attending UW-Stout, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and pursing a degree in the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management or the College of Education, Hospitality, Health and Human Services. The annual awards are $1,700 each.
