Starting a scholarship in perpetuity for a Northcentral Technical College program is not unusual. When it’s created by a not-for-profit organization of racers that continue to astonish the world by racing on the ice – that is unusual.
After a successful 2018 season, the Merrill Ice Draggers, Inc. a 501(c)4 not-for-profit, chose to make a difference. After meeting all the previous bills of plowing, fuel, insurance and equipment repairs, the club’s volunteers/members chose to create a Northcentral Technical College scholarship and recently presented a check to the NTC Foundation in the amount of $5,250 to establish a new endowed scholarship.
The scholarship will be awarded each fall to a new or continuing full- or part-time NTC student who is enrolled in the Automotive Technology, Diesel Technology, Mechanical Design or Welding program.
Other groups that have benefited from Merrill Ice Drags generosity and hard-working volunteers are: Town of Corning First Responders, HAVEN, Inc., Weston Youth Trap Club, Special Olympics, Pine Crest Nursing Home, Merrill City Band, Member of the Merrill Chamber of Commerce, Wausau 525, food pantries, North Central Health Care, and Lincoln County Humane Society.
