At STAHLS’, we believe in supporting the next generation of apparel decorators, entrepreneurs, and educators. The Stahl Family Scholarship was created to help businesses and schools grow their apparel decoration programs through equipment, training, and resources that empower long-term success. Each quarter, we recognize organizations that demonstrate passion, vision, and a commitment to growth within the apparel decoration industry.
Business Winner: Quality of Life Print Company (St. Paul, Minnesota)
This quarter’s business scholarship winner is Quality of Life Print Company, a growing apparel decoration business with a strong focus on serving schools, sports teams, and its local community.
The business is built around quality, creativity, and community impact, with a goal of expanding into a larger production space, increasing sales, and creating new employment opportunities.
The addition of new heat printing equipment will help improve production efficiency, enhance quality control, and bring hat decoration services in-house. With a vision of becoming a staple apparel decoration provider in St. Paul, Quality of Life Print Company is well-positioned for continued growth.
School Winner: Capital High School (Helena, Montana)
Our second quarter school winner is Capital High School, where students gain hands-on experience through entrepreneurship, graphic arts, business management, and a student-run spirit store.
As the school prepares for a major facility renovation, educators are using the opportunity to expand their apparel and merchandise enterprise into a larger student-driven business.
Scholarship equipment will allow more students to participate in designing, producing, and fulfilling custom apparel orders while building valuable real-world skills. Their goal is to become the go-to source for Bruin apparel while fostering creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurial learning.
