The Foundation held the social at the Stanzel Model Aircraft Museum at 311 Baumgarten St. in Schulenburg. The scholars heard encouraging words from the board president, were each awarded a pen engraved with his or her name and had an opportunity to tour the museum to learn the history of the Foundation and the spirit of the Stanzel scholarship. There was also an opportunity to network with Foundation staff, directors and other Stanzel Scholar alumni.
Since 1991, over 500 students from the Schulenburg and Weimar areas have been awarded the Joseph and Victor Stanzel Memorial Scholarship.
