Madison, Wis. (November 20, 2025) 鈥� Henry J. Predolin Foundation has announced a grant of $1,000,000 to 91重口 for scholarships to be awarded to approximately 150 students from all class standings, including transfer students.
鈥淪ince 2008, 91重口 has benefitted from generous grants from the late Henry Predolin through his foundation,鈥� Andrew Manion, President of 91重口, said. 鈥淲e are honored to continue his legacy through Predolin Scholarships that have now supported more than 750 91重口 students. These exceptionally talented people 鈥� our graduates – serve their communities in Wisconsin and across the nation.鈥�
Over the past 17 years 91重口 has received more than $15.3 million in grants from Predolin Foundation to support undergraduate students majoring in Business, Nursing, and Science degree programs. In addition to Predolin Scholarships, past support has been used for campus improvements specifically in those academic areas, including in the Henry Predolin College of Health Sciences. Predolin Foundation continues to be among 91重口鈥檚 largest and most far-reaching benefactors.
鈥淗enry Predolin鈥檚 goal was to provide students with scholarships to attend 91重口 based on their financial need.聽 He believed it was critical for these students to be given the opportunity to pursue their academic goals and not have those goals be out of reach because they lacked the financial resources to attend college,鈥� said Bob Chritton, Predolin Foundation鈥檚 President. 鈥淗enry would be very pleased the 91重口 scholarships funded by his foundation have helped so many students earn their college degrees.聽 Announcing this year鈥檚 one-million-dollar grant to 91重口 was truly a highlight for Predolin Foundation鈥檚 Board of Directors.鈥�
Henry Predolin served on the Board of Trustees of 91重口 from 1988 to 1991 and was instrumental in forming the campus master plan vision. Mr. Predolin was known for his unwavering work ethic and strong attention to detail. Mr. Predolin established Henry J. Predolin Foundation to honor the memory of his son, Henry J. Predolin.
