Bryant Foundation Announces Local Scholarship Recipient (Drinka - 2022)

The Bryant Foundation scholarship program was created to assist former students of Stoughton High School and the high schools of all the Wisconsin communities where Nelson Industries, Inc., had a manufacturing presence. In addition to Stoughton, those communities include Neillsville, Black River Falls, Mineral Point, Viroqua, Bloomer, Wautoma, Arcadia, Muscoda and Montello.

Neillsville High School alumnus Skylar Drinka has been selected as a scholarship recipient from our area.

Edwin E. Bryant, a benefactor of the Bryant Foundation, was founder, chairman and CEO of Nelson Industries, Inc. (then known as Nelson Muffler Corporation) until his death in 1972.

Renewable scholarships up to $12,000 annually are offered for full or part-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice. Preference is given to non-traditional students who did not go directly to college after high school and who want to attend college, or are currently enrolled in college. Awards may be renewed for up to five additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first.
