ST Paper creates scholarship for 10 area students

One of the largest employers in Oconto Falls has donated $50,000 to create a scholarship fund at UW-Green Bay to benefit students from the six-county area north and northwest of Green Bay. The gift from ST Paper LLC, Oconto Falls, establishes the ST Paper Scholarship Fund. The fund will provide awards of $5,000 each to 10 individuals — five continuing students and five freshmen or transfers. The scholarships will be available to students who graduated from a high school located within Brown, Florence, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto or Shawano counties. Sahil Tak, vice president of ST Paper, said the company’s decision to fund college scholarships at UW-Green Bay is in keeping with its mission.
