Seeking America’s Triple Threats: Wenger Corporation Launches National $10,000 Scholarship for Students Active in Music, Theatre and Athletics

OWATONNA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wenger Corporation is searching for students who excel in music, theatre and athletics through its new Triple Threats campaign, which includes a $10,000 scholarship recognizing the leadership, dedication and personal growth that come from participating across multiple disciplines.

At a time when many students feel pressure to prioritize one passion over others, Triple Threats celebrates those who choose to pursue a broader path by staying engaged in music, theatre and athletics throughout their school experience.

"Many successful students refuse to be defined by a single activity,” said Dave Thomas, President and CEO of Wenger Corporation. “They are musicians, actors, athletes, leaders and teammates. Through Triple Threats, we’re celebrating students who challenge themselves across three disciplines and recognizing the unique strengths they gain from these varied experiences."

As Wenger celebrates its 80th anniversary, the company created Triple Threats to recognize a new generation of students whose talents and interests span music, theatre and athletics. The initiative reflects the company’s own evolution from its roots in music education to serving performing arts and athletics as well.

Students involved in music, theatre and athletics often develop leadership, teamwork, creativity, discipline and resilience through a variety of experiences both on and off the stage, field and practice room. These experiences help shape future leaders while building skills that extend far beyond graduation.

Apply for Scholarship. Unlike many scholarships focused on a single discipline, the $10,000 Triple Threats Scholarship recognizes students whose experiences span music, theatre and athletics. One member of the Class of 2027 will be recognized for commitment, leadership, growth and ability to build on what is learned in each pursuit.

Applicants will share their Triple Threats story and future plans through written responses, recommendations and a short video. Applications are open to eligible U.S. high school seniors graduating in 2027 and must be submitted by February 28, 2027.

Applications are now open, and Wenger encourages eligible students from across the United States to apply. Complete eligibility requirements, application information and official rules are available on Wenger’s Triple Threats webpage.

Share Your Story. Wenger is inviting families, educators, coaches and community members to celebrate and nominate students whose participation in music, theatre and athletics has made an impact in their schools and communities.

Photos and stories of students in grades 6-12 may be submitted throughout the campaign, with selected students highlighted through Wenger's storytelling and social media channels as examples of what it means to be a Triple Threat.
