Impact

The Alois Bulawa Scholarship is named in honor of Sandy?s father. Alois (Al) was born in Milwaukee, and after high school he went on to work for Blatz Brewing Company and A.O. Smith Corporation. Al had a great respect for education, but for financial reasons could not pursue education beyond high school. Dennis and Sandy hope to inspire recipients to reach the level of compassion that Al felt for all people. In addition, they would like the students to gain an understanding of the importance of education?as a means to achieve individual success and to help groups of disadvantaged people attain higher socioeconomic levels.
