The Brian LaViolette Scholarship

Brian Douglas LaViolette
1977 - 1992

Partners in Education and the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation announced a new $10,000 scholarship which was awarded for the first time in May 2007. The Brian LaViolette Scholarship is designed to offer a student the inspiration to succeed and the financial backing to help make higher education possible.

This scholarship is awarded to one graduating high school senior from the Partners in Education school districts in Wisconsin, which includes Ashwaubenon, Denmark, De Pere, Green Bay, Howard-Suamico, Luxemburg-Casco, Pulaski, Seymour, West De Pere, and Wrightstown. Principals from each of the participating high schools select one candidate from their school, who then submits an application to the Partners in Education selection committee. Partners in Education, through the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, is headed up by Nancy Schopf.

This $10,000 award is presented to a student who has shown exemplary achievement throughout his or her high school career. The recipient will be a student who has a thirst for knowledge, the ability to be a team player, and the desire to be a future leader…aspects of life that were important to Brian while he was growing up and attending school in De Pere. The scholarship is paid in equal installments over four years.

The Brian LaViolette Scholarship was announced on January 23, 2007, which would have been Brian’s 30th birthday. To mark the Foundation’s 15th year of giving, the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation has consolidated several local scholarships to create this new award.
