Wayne J. & Wanda M. Lillich Scholarship

The Wayne J. and Wanda M. Lillich Scholarship was established in 1996. The Lillichs wanted to give something back to the community in which they were raised. Having been reared during the Depression, Wayne and Wanda appreciated every little thing they received in those early years. When they had the opportunity to gain some wealth, they never forgot their roots. The Lillichs are devoted to their church and see the importance of careers in religion, medicine and business. A successful businessman himself, Wayne spent his life in the print production field. He served as the Nebraska Litho Company’s manager for over 20 years until his retirement in 1996. Wayne and Wanda have one daughter and reside in Lincoln.
