Albert W. Wuyts and Louise M. Wuyts Scholarship

Background:

During their lifetimes, Albert and Louise Wuyts were generous contributors to their churches and their community. Among the benefactors of their generosity was the Kaukauna Fire Department, Kaukauna High School, Peace United Methodist Church, St. Mary of the Annunciation Catholic Church, St. Paul Elder Services and Thousand Islands Environmental Center. In addition, they were instrumental in establishing the Kaukauna High School ghost statue which is prominently displayed in the front of the school. As another lasting token of their legacy, this scholarship fund was established with a bequest gift from their estate to benefit Kaukauna High School seniors pursuing higher education.
