2024 Herbert D. Hentzen, Jr. Scholarship Application

 With donations from family and friends, MTEF has established a college scholarship in memory of Herbert D. Hentzen, Jr., who served on the board of directors from 2000 until his death in 2021 at the age of 93. He also was the foundation’s treasurer from 2001 to 2005.

The $2,000 scholarship will be awarded annually to an MTEF participant who embodies the values and love of tennis that Hentzen was known for during his lifetime.

Hentzen played varsity tennis at Whitefish Bay High School, winning a state boys’ singles championship his senior year and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he played No. 1 singles for most of his four years and captained the men’s team for two.

Because Hentzen held a degree in chemical engineering from UW and, for decades, was president of his family’s chemical coatings business one of the criteria will be that the recipient be planning to major in a STEM or business field. Since he so highly valued education, participants planning education majors also will be eligible.

MTEF participants who are high school juniors or seniors may apply for this scholarship. The scholarship money will be sent directly to the winner’s college or university.
