SPECIAL NOTES:
The Yurkovich Family Scholarship was established to honor Mary Yurkovich Nastali, who grew up in Sawyer County. One of nine children, she didn’t get to go on to high school, but she valued education and saw her own three children through advanced college degrees. Though she didn’t live out her life in Wisconsin, before she passed away, she was delighted to know that this scholarship would be offered to young Sawyer County people who need a helping hand to achieve their education goals. Her family is proud to have established this fund in honor of her. The recipient should send a thank-you letter to Mary Ellen Alea in care of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation Office, Schofield Hall 214.
