Fischer Scholarship
The Fischer Scholarship Program is supported by a trust fund established by Professor Warren Fischer, who along with Mrs. Rose Fischer, taught for many years on the UW-Whitewater campus. Grants have been awarded from this fund each semester since 1978. In excess of $100,000 per year is available for distribution to approximately 40 to 50 qualified students. The Fischer?s goal was to improve the quality of geographic education.
