Scholarships
C
arroll University is blessed to have a generous network of
friends who believe in the value of a Carroll education, and
chose to make investments to help students who have a passion
for learning. Funding for our scholarships comes from our loyal
alumni base, our board of trustees, our dedicated faculty and staff, our
corporate partners in the community and other friends of Carroll.
The importance of scholarships and financial aid cannot be
overstated. More than 98 percent of current students at Carroll receive
some type of financial assistance. Scholarships can make the difference
not only in whether a student attends college, but also whether that
student remains. This listing shares the stories of the people behind the
scholarships, and their affinity for Carroll. Many of these scholarships
are established as endowed funds, providing a permanent income
stream for annual scholarships which carry on the name of the donor
and create a personal legacy.
As you read through this catalog, you will come to realize we are
connected. There is a common thread that binds each one of us to one
another. From generations past to today, the people of Carroll—the
stories we share, the memories we hold, and the education gained—is
what keeps the spirit of Carroll alive. We celebrate the generosity and
the legacy these individuals have made in helping advance Carroll’s
mission of preparing students for lives of meaning, purpose and success.

Clarke Family Scholarship Fund
Established by Weldon T. Clarke '39 in 1998.

physical education teacher. Halfway through his junior year, he unfortunately
had to leave because he could no longer afford tuition and his living expenses.
Clarke, who would have graduated in the class of 1939, came to Carroll from
Madison, Wis. Carroll seemed like a natural choice for Clarke, as his brother
Robert graduated in 1937, and father Finch, a Presbyterian minister, graduated
in 1908. During Ted’s time at Carroll, he was active in athletics and social clubs.
He ran the 100- yard dash in 10.2 seconds. He was also a member of the Phi
Theta Pi fraternity. To help other financially strapped students, he created the
Clarke Family Endowed Scholarship Fund to help prevent future students from
encountering a similar dilemma that he found himself in. Ted died in 2003, and
his close friend Larry continues to be active with the fund.

was inaugurated as Carroll’s President, and the United States was entering
into World War II. Those 91 students went on to lead productive careers and
lives. In 1991, efforts for their 50th reunion prompted conversations about
doing something to commemorate the memories they shared at Carroll.

demonstrating financial need and who maintain a 3.0 grade point average.
Many alumni recognize the need for scholarship aid as many of them also
struggled with the rising costs of affording a college education. The Class of
1942 recognized this growing need for today’s student body, and wanted to
do something meaningful to help others enjoy their own Carroll experience.
This scholarship was established by the class providing aid to students
demonstrating financial need and who maintain a 3.0 grade point average.
Led by the efforts of Martha (Miller) Anschuetz '43 and other key
volunteers, the Class of 1943 knew they wanted to make their 50th reunion

fundraising efforts to provide annual support to students demonstrating
financial need and who maintain a 3.0 grade point average.

serves as the class representative for the fund.
Class reunions at Carroll have had a long tradition of celebrating their
love and affinity for their alma mater by making the decision to establish a
permanent scholarship to help support future students make their Carroll
experience possible. As the Class of 1964 approached their 50th reunion,
they knew they wanted to do something meaningful to give back to a campus
that meant so much to them celebrating the friendships created, long-lasting
memories and commitment to lifelong learning. This fund supports students
participating in a cross-cultural experience with preference given to students
whose CCE includes a service component.

Doris was a lifelong Waukesha resident raised on the family farm. She was an
active student majoring in biology and English, and served as a member of Beta
Beta Beta, YWCA, and the campus club. Shortly after graduation, Doris and
Gwilym married in August 1931. Together, they would have five daughters who
would all become Carroll alumni. One daughter was born in Denver, where
Davies did his residency, earning his M.D. from Northwestern University in
1932. He then spent six months in Paris, studying to serve as a Presbyterian
missionary in French Cameroon. Two daughters were born in Africa, where
Davies served twice for a total of six years in the 1930s. Two daughters were
born in Waukesha, where Davies opened his medical practice on December
1, 1941—just a week before the Pearl Harbor attacks. In 1943, Davies signed
up as a naval doctor, earning the rank of commander by 1946, before he came
back home to Waukesha. He went on to distinguish himself as a doctor with
an outstanding record as a Waukesha practitioner, and as Carroll’s serving
physician. This scholarship was established in honor of Gwilym and Doris, by
their daughter Evelyn '58, and son-in-law Bruce '58 Otto, with preference to

Willis Guthrie Scholarship Fund
Established in honor of C. Willis Guthrie by family and friends in 2006.
The early growth of Carroll’s art department was formed under the
leadership of C. Willis “Wis” Guthrie, professor of art at Carroll from 19461983. When Wis came to Carroll, he was the entire art department and
taught alone until 1961. During his more than 30 years as chairman of the
department, he tripled the number of art majors attending Carroll. Guthrie
received his bachelor and master degrees from the State University of Iowa.
Beyond his professional role as a faculty member, Guthrie was also well-known
as a summertime bricklayer and was past president of the Milwaukee area
bricklayers’ union. He helped build Swarthout Hall, the Union, and designed the
former platform the Victory Bell sat on. This scholarship was established in his
honor to recognize his service to Carroll by providing awards to outstanding
students with a major or minor in art. Guthrie passed away in 2016 at the age
of 98. His sons remain active with the fund.

Eunice E. Hahn Scholarship Fund
Established by Eunice E. Hahn '49 in 1989.
Serving on the Carroll Board of Trustees for 19 years, Eunice E. Hahn '49
was known as a dedicated volunteer and active alumna. When she decided
to establish this endowment, it was just another example of her devotion
and selfless giving back to a place that meant so much to her. Eunice was a
South Milwaukee native, and an active student serving as a resident assistant
in Voorhees Hall, a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority, and several honorary
fraternities. In 1949, she graduated with a degree in history, and went on to
teach U.S. and world history for a couple of years. However, it was Hahn’s
job as a resident assistant at Carroll that fostered a continued interest in
counseling. She decided to follow that curiosity, and enjoyed a successful
career as a school counselor at Nicolet High School, followed by a return to
her alma mater, South Milwaukee High School, where she worked for 25 years
before retiring in 1989. She credits Carroll for teaching her how to learn and
deal with people which helped her in every future endeavor. Eunice died in
2010 leaving the majority of her estate to Carroll in support of scholarships.
The Hahn Scholarship gives preference to students who are graduates of South
Milwaukee high school with qualifying students planning a career in teaching
given first consideration.

Doug & Nancy Hastad Endowed Scholarship Fund
Established by President Douglas N. & Nancy J. Hastad in 2015.
Doug and Nancy Hastad completed their undergraduate education at
Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. in ’71 and ’72, respectively. Upon
graduation they began their careers in education. Doug was a teacher in
the Moorhead Public Schools and Nancy was a residence hall director at
Concordia. Since that beginning, education has always been an integral part
of their professional lives. From their point of view, investing in a Carroll
scholarship that benefits future teachers was a simple decision. Concordia is a
private institution that is similar to Carroll in so many ways, including the cost
of tuition. Doug and Nancy remember their student loans which took a number
of years to pay off. While the value of the degree paid dividends many times
over, the idea of being able to assist a Carroll student with financial support
was very appealing.
They feel blessed to be at Carroll and view it as an appropriate place to
conclude their journey in education. President Hastad began his tenure at
Carroll in 2006 serving as Carroll’s 14th President and will retire in 2017. This
scholarship gives preference to those students majoring in education. The
Hastads find it is reassuring and appropriate to have created a scholarship that
will continue to benefit Carroll students in perpetuity.

In 1865, Walter Lowrie Rankin assumed the post of presidency at Carroll.
It was also the year that Carrie (Strong) Henbest was born. She would later
provide monies to Carroll through her estate. One of President Rankin’s
greatest strengths was reported to be his friendship with the Presbyterian
churches, and his skill at soliciting funds for the school. Under his leadership,
the Presbyterian Church and its members would provide the greatest portion of
Carroll’s financial support. Henbest was a faithful member of the Presbyterian
Church, and she became a benefactor after her death in 1937 to further its
mission. This scholarship was established in Mrs. Henbest’s name to provide
general aid to worthy students in their pursuit of a college education.
Jessie Mae Henke and Harold E. Henke
Scholarship Fund
Established by Dr. and Mrs. Richard P. Henke in 2006.
Dr. Harold Henke '20 led a rewarding and colorful career as a missionary
doctor. He interrupted his Carroll studies to enlist in the Marine Corps during
World War I. After serving in France and Germany, he returned to Carroll,
graduating in 1920. He was a very active student, participating in the glee club,
orchestra, tennis manager, student senate, YMCA cabinet, oratorical board
and debate team, and a member of the fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon. He went
on to receive his master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
and medical degree at Rush Medical School in Chicago. In 1927, just weeks
after his wedding to his wife, Jessie Mae, a nurse, they sailed to China and
became Presbyterian medical missionaries. They began their own mission
in 1929 providing medical services, and oversaw a hospital expansion. The
couple had two sons and a daughter, all born in China. After World War II, the
Henkes found that the practice of medicine under the communist regime was
increasingly restrictive, so they reluctantly returned to the U.S. where Henke
continued a practice in the Los Angeles area until his retirement. Harold died
in 1982, and Jessie in 2000. This scholarship was established by the Henke’s
son, Richard, who followed his father’s footsteps into medicine, and became
a pathologist. He created this fund to honor his parent’s memory, and their
selfless work. Awards are given to students demonstrating financial need, with
preference to those studying in the health sciences including nursing, physical
therapy, or other related fields of study.

Immanuel Presbyterian Church Scholarship Fund
Established for Presbyterian students by members of Immanuel
Presbyterian Church in 1991.
Like the multitude of small Midwestern colleges founded before the Civil
War, Carroll was the product of both religious enthusiasm to Christianize
the frontier and the long-standing American belief in the vital relationship
between education and democracy. From its early days, Carroll was affiliated
with the Wisconsin Synod of the Presbyterian Church and received its financial
support. Of all the competing denominations that pushed westward in the
1800s, the Presbyterians were the most ardent and successful in building new
churches, schools, and colleges. This affiliation with the Church continues to
remain an important and valued relationship for Carroll. Immanuel Presbyterian
Church, located in Milwaukee, Wis., and its congregation have long been
devoted supporters of Carroll and its continued success. This scholarship was
established under the leadership of Rev. William H. Johnstone, former pastor
of Immanuel Presbyterian Church and member of the Carroll Board of Trustees
from 1972-1993, to provide financial assistance, with preference to members
of the congregation in Milwaukee. If no qualified candidates exist, awards are
then given to worthy students of the Presbyterian faith. Rev. Deborah Block
'74, current pastor of Immanuel Presbyterian Church, and the congregation
continue to be active with the fund.

of the Carroll family. Their scholarship will be given to a hardworking, focused
upperclassman with a preference toward an education or science major.

Les Klug Scholarship Fund
Established by Marjorie Klug Evans in 1996.
Wisconsin native, Les Klug (1930-1988) was a visionary who influenced the
art world through his unique approach to photography. What distinguished
him as an artist was that unlike other photographers, a picture was not his final
product. Rather, it was the starting point from which he developed the hybrid
images for which he is known. Remarkable was his ability to manipulate images
before the age of digital photography. Carroll holds the largest collection of Les
Klug photography in the world. This award recognizes outstanding art students
demonstrating financial need and merit who are participating in Carroll’s
photography program. Klug’s sister Marjorie remains active with the fund.

Waukesha county native, Harold Koeffler graduated from Carroll in 1934
with a degree in business administration. After graduation, he joined the
National Guard; and by 1941, he was working for General Motors in Detroit
on a lend-lease program. His assignment was with the Air Force as a civilian
in which he trained young men who were about to be assigned to B-24

John W. and Mildred J. Koning Scholarship Fund
Established by Mildred J. Koning in 1989.
Dr. John W. Koning '27 spent his life fulfilling the Lord’s work. He was a 1927
graduate of Carroll majoring in Latin, and went on to receive his theological
degree from Princeton Seminary in 1930. He served as a chaplain in the U.S.
Army during World War II, and then he and his wife Mildred, who was a nurse,
served as missionaries in West Africa. He was one of the founders of the
Voice of Evangelism radio program, and served pastorates in Brooklyn, N.Y.;
Davenport, Iowa; and Wisconsin throughout his career. In 1966, he retired from
the ministry and went on to realize a dream and fulfillment of a vision to build
the Ridgecrest Retirement Village. Ridgecrest was the first of its kind in the area
at the time, moving away from the nursing home model to a retirement living
facility community. He was the guiding force behind the project, did much of
its fundraising, and served as chaplain for the senior community. As a student,
he toiled at making ends meet to pay for college on his own. He realized the
importance of a college education, and valued his own formative experience at
Carroll. After his death in 1986, his wife Mildred made provisions to establish
a fund in their name to support worthy students at Carroll, with preference to
those entering the ministry. If no qualifying candidates exist, awards are then
made to worthy students demonstrating financial need. The Konings’ daughter
and son continue to be active with the fund.

Dr. Janine Krauss Memorial Scholarship Fund
Established by Siegfried Krauss in memory of Janine Krauss, professor
emeritus at Carroll in 2000.
Raised in France, and having attended Parisian schools throughout her
student years, Janine Krauss found it an honor to dedicate her career to
teaching others the French language and culture. Janine first came to America
while visiting some friends in New Jersey in the early 1960s. She liked it so
much in the U.S. that she decided to stay. Having studied English for seven
years, she easily adapted to her new surroundings. She began working first
as a bilingual secretary at the United Nations, and then teaching summers at
Middlebury College in Vermont. A position at Marquette University brought
her to Wisconsin, and shortly after she started her tenure at Carroll. Janine
joined the Carroll faculty in 1968 as an assistant professor, and was promoted
to associate professor of French in 1977. She established Carroll’s first foreign
language study abroad program in Normandy, France. After her untimely
passing in 2000, Janine’s husband, Siegfried, established this scholarship
in her loving memory to support full-time students of the French language.
If no qualified candidates exist, then preference is given to any qualified
undergraduate to help them in their studies.

Kay & Max Kurz Art Scholarship Fund
Established in memory of Kay & Max Kurz by their family & friends in
2015.
It was sneaking into a Munich art show in 1937 when Nazis were burning
books, firing art teachers and sacking museum curators where Kathe "Kay"
Kurz was inspired to become an artist. Judged decadent and unacceptably
modern by Hitler, the clean lines and bright colors of works by Paul Klee and
Wassily Kandinsky resonated with Kurz, who took up painting, and in a way,
found her life's direction. Kurz immigrated to America on her own, settling in
New York where she worked as a maid and in a paint brush factory. She met
Max Kurz, who immigrated from Vienna in 1938, at an English language class.
They moved to the Midwest while Max Kurz earned his degrees, and where
he eventually became Dean of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School
of Social Welfare. Meanwhile, Kay studied art at City College of New York and
Iowa State and began teaching painting classes at Carroll in 1968 where she
was an art instructor for over 25 years.
Kurz's artwork was very colorful and reflected her love of nature and flowers.
Many of her paintings juxtapose the straight lines of architecture with the
natural contours of her garden. She started in oils and acrylics and switched to
water colors later in life. She continued her work as an artist until she died April
3, 2015 at her Waukesha home, a day after her 93rd birthday. This scholarship
supports students in the art field to encourage their creativity and passion. Her
sons, Robb and Mark Kurz, are active with the fund.

at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay for 43 years as a professor of
geography and department chair, and postponed retirement to fill the position
of interim Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. This scholarship
was initiated to honor Dr. Laatsch’s 19-year service on Carroll Board of
Trustees. Gifts were made by Dr. Laatsch, his family, friends, and members
of the Carroll community to thank him for his years of dedication to his alma
mater. This award recognizes an outstanding student who has demonstrated
leadership capacity and skills through active involvement in extra-curricular
and co-curricular activities and campus programs. Recipients must maintain

was critical to build our future. Their intention in establishing this fund was to
provide encouragement to students to make the most of their college years,
and to emerge with a strong liberal arts education, and ready to begin a role
of leadership in society. Don and Candace lived in Lincoln, NE and Mason
City, IA before moving to Grinnell, IA in 1952. Don was treasurer and vice
president for business at Grinnell College. The motivation of their generosity
to Carroll was part of their support to Presbyterian colleges in the Synod of
Lakes and Prairies. Provisions through the Lambies’ estate established this fund
recognizing students who show superior academic ability, diverse interests,
and communication skills.
Robert W. Leaf Endowed Scholarship Fund
Established through the estate of Robert W. Leaf in 2007.

in 2007. Mr. Leaf was an Oconomowoc, Wis., resident who died at the age of
97. Not having any children or family, he named several organizations in his
estate that he cared about to help further their mission. He outlined his desire
to establish an endowment fund to support Carroll’s music program. This
scholarship in his name provides qualified students studying music assistance
to further their studies.

Ralph and Kathy Ley Scholarship
Funded through the generosity of Ralph and Kathleen (McCormick) '65 Ley
Carroll was a part of Kathy’s life long before it was time for her to go to
college. Her father F. J. “Mickey” McCormick started as Carroll’s athletic
director and football coach in 1949. His office was in Ganfield, and she spent
many days playing in the gym with her sisters. Mickey became ill in 1958 and
died that August, but the college honored the promise to provide tuition for
children of employees. Kathy has many fond memories of Carroll as a Chi
Omega sister, and as a student double majoring in elementary education and
geography. Her Carroll education prepared her well for a career as a teacher for
over 25 years. When Kathy and her husband Ralph were financially able to do
some philanthropic work, Carroll was at the top of their list. Ralph and Kathy
provide scholarships to support outstanding students majoring in nursing or
physical therapy with preference to those who also have an internship or parttime job in the field.

Katherine Luck Scholarship
Funded annually through the generosity of Katherine Luck ’76.

education was it provided her a foundation for a successful professional
life—no matter what discipline or path she would take. Kathy was a

of sectors, including government, accounting, and business. In 2007, she
switched careers completely, working as a children’s librarian at a local

Don and Dorothy Manecke Scholarship Fund
Established by Donald '39 and Dorothy '39 Manecke in 1991.
As a child of the depression, Don Manecke '39 learned the value of hard
work. Don, a business and economics major, was the youngest of four children
and the only member of his family to attend college. With full class loads, Don
worked his way through school washing windows, cutting grass and working
as a janitor. He was actively involved on the tennis team, class president, Pi
Gamma Mu, interfraternity council, and Phi Theta Pi. However, the best thing
that happened to Don at Carroll was that he met his wife, Dorothy (Anderson)
Manecke ’39, a history and biology major. According to the Maneckes, “Giving
is what matters. The more we live, the more we should give.” Don served on
the first Alumni Council at Carroll, was a member of the Board of Trustees
in the 1970s, organized class reunions, and was a faithful contributor to the
annual fund. Together, the Maneckes established this scholarship to help
students with financial need in their schooling giving back to a place that
meant so much to them. Dorothy passed away in 2005 and Don in 2014.
Their niece continues to remain active with the fund.

Alicia and John McCareins Scholarship
Funded annually through the generosity of Alicia '72 and John '71
McCareins.
Alicia '72 and John '71 McCareins came from two very different
backgrounds. Alicia was born and raised in Trinidad in the West Indies. At
the age of 15, she moved to the U.S., joining her sister’s family in Milwaukee
before attending Carroll. John was raised in Libertyville, Ill., an affluent northern
suburb in the Chicagoland area. John and Alicia met as students when John
came up to Alicia during dinner one night, and asked if she wanted to go to
a party together. They were a couple ever since. Alicia majored in English,
Spanish and psychology, and went to receive her master’s and doctoral
degrees from Northwestern University’s School of Law. She was a professor
at Northwestern University before starting her own consulting firm providing
organizational development and program evaluation for clients. John majored
in economics, and went on to receive his master’s in business from DePaul
University in Chicago. He is currently the executive managing director and
chief marketing officer for an investment firm in Illinois. They believe Carroll
provided them a solid educational foundation that supported their successful
professional careers. Wanting to provide opportunities for more students to
better afford their college education, Alicia and John annually give to current
scholarships supporting the next generation of global citizens.

McCaughey were married in November 1934. They went on to enjoy 65 years
of loving marriage together. Bill was a hardworking, devoted family man who
began his career at National Cash Register, and retired in 1975 from Milwaukee
Engine and Equipment. Jane enjoyed a banking career with First National
Bank of Waukesha. Their son, Paul '69, and daughter-in-law Sally '89, were
both Carroll graduates—and they valued the education and experience they
gained from their time at Carroll. When Bill died in 2000, Jeannette and the
McCaughey family established this scholarship because of their affinity to the
college, and to help future students enjoy a Carroll experience. The McCaughey
Scholarship supports students demonstrating financial need with preference to
those from Waukesha County or southeastern Wisconsin majoring in business
administration.

mater. As a student, Alice was a member of Beta Chi Theta and a founding
member of Alpha Gamma Delta in 1952. She was a history major and served
in student senate, Associated Woman’s Society, and was prom queen in 1951.
She was the first of her six siblings to go to college. Most notable of her time
at Carroll, she met her husband Bob Morava '52. Bob was a member of Sigma
Phi Epsilon, and a business administration major. Together after graduation,
they built the business, Stuart W. Johnson & Co., Inc. in Lake Geneva, Wis.,
an equipment and supplies company to the food and dairy industries. Alice
remained connected with Carroll, serving on the Alumni Council in 1988, and
in 1990 she began her tenure on the Carroll Board of Trustees. Supporting the
Carroll experience was always important to Alice and Bob, and they supported
the school’s mission in any way they could. In 1987, after a courageous battle
with cancer, Bob passed away. Paying tribute to their courtship, and in loving
memory of his spirit, Alice established a scholarship fund in her husband’s
name supporting upperclassmen pursuing a major in economics, business
administration or accounting. Participation in extra-curricular activities,

remodel the building which was later named Morgan Manor. Many versions
of stories about ghosts haunting the former Morgan Manor (now MacAllister
Hall) circulated on campus in the 1970s. Some of those were related to the
ghost of Lydia Morgan, despite the fact she never lived in the house. As
part of her estate, additional funds were provided to Carroll to establish this
scholarship in her name providing general scholarship assistance to worthy
students at Carroll.

N.F. Morley Scholarship Fund
Established by N.F. Morley in 1947.
As Wisconsin’s oldest chartered college, the Carroll College of 1846
represented the hopes of the early settlers that their community would lead
the way in civilizing and Christianizing the Wisconsin frontier. Like many
other Wisconsin colleges facing tough economic hardship during that time,
Carroll found it a necessity to secure denominational support to ensure its
continued viability. In November 1849, the Carroll Board of Trustees petitioned
the Presbytery of Wisconsin to have Carroll adopted as a Synod school. It is
this affiliation and relationship with the Presbyterian Church that prompted
and nurtured many future benefactors to Carroll. N.F. Morley left his estate
to Carroll through the church, offering scholarship assistance to be given to
students studying for the ministry.
H. Edward Moser Scholarship Fund
Established by Mildred M. Moser in 1999.
There are several charitable vehicles that individuals can consider when
wanting to make a gift to support their charity. There are outright cash gifts, or
provisions one can make through their will to leave assets through their estate.
Jean McNary explored the option of a charitable gift annuity as she wanted
to provide an income for her sister Mildred while doing something charitable
for Carroll. A charitable gift annuity provides a regular stream of income for
a beneficiary and upon their death the remainder is left to the designated
charity. Jean decided this was the best option for her; and subsequently each
quarter, Mildred received a fixed percentage of the principal from a gift to
Carroll. When Mildred died in February 2005, the remainder was added to a
scholarship in Mildred’s son’s name, the late Herbert Edward Moser. Moser
was a 1971 graduate of Carroll, majoring in psychology, and active in Sigma Phi
Epsilon, and the track team during his time as a student. He passed away in
October 1998.
Dorothy M. Mundschau Scholarship
Funded annually through the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Dorothy
M. Mundschau Fund for Women’s Higher Education.

provisions in her estate created a fund at the Greater Milwaukee Foundation
to support scholarships for female students. Carroll annually receives support
through the Dorothy M. Mundschau Fund for Women’s Higher Education to

Carroll is a campus community where friendships are made, and memories
are shared. There are many bonds that keep this campus a very special place.
We are blessed to have many family legacies on campus, with scores of
families who have proud generations of members who have come through
Carroll. This scholarship honors the legacy of the Nanz family—and its
patriarch, Dr. Ralph S. Nanz, longtime professor of biology at Carroll and an
Episcopal priest; his wife Helen Margaret Nanz; his sister Ruth L. Nanz; and
his son Robert W. Nanz '51. The fund was established through the thoughtful
generosity of Robert Nanz’s former wife, Miriam K. Stauff, and their sons,
Robert W. Nanz Jr., Theodore Bryant-Nanz, and Stephen R. Nanz, along with
other family members and friends. This award is provided to an outstanding
student demonstrating financial need, and high academic rating majoring in
the physical sciences or religious studies. Dr. Ralph Nanz was very active in
the national chapter of Beta Beta Beta, a society dedicated to improving the
understanding and appreciation of biological study and extending boundaries
of human knowledge through scientific research. This award pays tribute to his
service at Carroll, and the many ties that his family has to the Carroll campus.

Neilsville Presbyterian Church Scholarship Fund
Established by the members of the Neilsville Presbyterian Church in 1947.
Clark County, Wis., was an uninhabited wilderness when pioneer James
O'Neill, and his party came from Black River Falls in an oxen drawn wagon
cutting the first road into the county. By 1850, 50 acres of land had been
cleared by O'Neill; and in April of 1855, he appropriated four acres of land
for the village—Neilsville, named in his honor. Neillsville is located in West
Central Wisconsin, about 50 miles southeast of Eau Claire and 25 miles west

Neilsville Presbyterian Church (which is no longer in existence) to aid a worthy
student at Carroll preparing for religious work.

Bruce and Evelyn Otto Fellowship
Established by Evelyn Davies Otto '58 and Bruce Otto '58 in 1994.
Evelyn (Davies) Otto '58 came from a family deeply connected to the
Carroll campus—all four of her sisters attended Carroll, as did her parents Dr.
Gwilym '26 and Doris (Williams) Davies '31. Bruce Otto '58, too, had familial
affinity to the campus; his brother and a cousin were Carroll graduates. Both
Evie and Bruce valued their time as students at Carroll. Evie was a psychology
and sociology major active in Alpha Gamma Delta, religion in life committee,
Spanish club, and the psychology club. Bruce majored in chemistry and
mathematics, and was active in Beta Pi Epsilon, “C” club, and was a member
of the varsity track and basketball teams. Following graduation in 1958, Bruce
went on to receive his doctorate in chemistry from Ohio State University.
He and Evie began their family together while she also started a career as
an educator. Professionally, Dr. Otto accepted a position with Amoco Oil
Company in 1963 in research and development as a research chemist. Through
the years, he gained new responsibilities and went on to become vice president
of planning and administration before retiring from the company in 1993.
Dr. Otto served on the Carroll Board of Trustees from 1989-2008, and was
instrumental in the growth of the college and increasing alumni support during
that tenure. The Ottos established this fellowship to support outstanding
members of the freshman class planning a career in the sciences—including
majors in biology, chemistry, computer or environmental science, geography,
mathematics, physics, or psychology. Recipients of this prestigious scholarship

Owen '37. June studied history and English, and was active in the debate
club, Echo and Hinakaga staff, Pi Kappa Delta and Delta Sigma Nu. Ray went
on to become a nationally recognized scientist specializing in genetics and
immunology. His findings helped make organ and bone marrow transplants
possible, and his reputation earned him a seat on the first President’s Cancer
Panel, established by the Nixon administration. Throughout his career, his
biggest rewards were through his teaching. Owen joined the Cal Tech faculty in
1947 teaching biology, and served as chairman of the division from 1961-1968.
From 1975-1980, he served as dean of students and vice president for student
affairs. He officially retired in 1983. Owen received the Carroll Distinguished
Alumnus Award in 1986 for his professional accomplishments. Ray and
June credited Carroll as an influential institution that shaped their lives. They
established this endowment during their lifetime to provide scholarship

“Besides my parents, there is nothing that impacted my life as much as an
opportunity for a good education. That experience provided a framework for
a successful and satisfying personal and professional life. Borrowing a phrase
from a fellow Presbyterian, ‘you cannot pay it back; you can only pass it on.’
That’s what I’m trying to do.” Charmaine established this scholarship to pay it
forward providing financial assistance to future generations of Carroll students.

Annie Rankin Scholarship Fund
Established by Thomas J. Rankin in 1964.
The Rankin family and their connection to Carroll goes back to the school’s
early years of inception. It was 1865 when William Alexander, acting president
for Carroll, had offered his resignation, and the trustees began a search for
a new leader who could oversee Carroll’s postwar reconstruction. Walter
Lowrie Rankin was recommended for the post. Rankin was born in Allahabad,
India, and was only 25 years old when he came to Waukesha to resurrect
Carroll from early struggles to remain a viable college. He went on to devote
over 40 years to the reconstruction of Carroll, laying a foundation for growth
and prosperity of the college. As a member of the First Presbyterian Church,
Rankin met his future wife, Mary Jane Nickell, through their Presbyterian choir.
Together, they lived in the house which still stands on the northeast corner
of East Avenue and McCall Street. Mary would teach music at Carroll, and
later their daughter, May Nickell Rankin, would become chair of the oratory
department, serve as Carroll’s first woman professor, and oversee the Carroll
Players—the first student dramatic group in Wisconsin. The Rankin family
legacy continues with the establishment of this scholarship in the name of
Annie Rankin. This award provides critical aid to worthy students honoring this

Priscilla Anderson Richmond Scholarship Fund
Established through the estate of Priscilla Richmond ’39 in 2015.
The philosophy of Priscilla Richmond ’39 was to always live life to the fullest.
She was born in Canada and moved to the United States with her family in
1930, settling in Waukesha. Priscialla knew at a young age that she wanted
to attend Carroll. However, like many others after the Great Depression, she
assumed she could not afford to do so. Nonetheless, she visited to Carroll
to see if that might be possible. As part of her financial aid package, she
received a loan, a small scholarship and a job in the library. She graduated
from Carroll in 1939 in history and went on to become a librarian. Her life
included frequent and extensive travels to Europe, Alaska, Hong Kong and
New Zealand. She called Door County home where she enjoyed the rich art
and music offerings that the community is known for. Knowing she wanted to
help others fulfill their dreams of a Carroll education, she established several
gift annuities during her lifetime that allowed her to travel and enjoy herself
during her lifetime and upon her passing in 2015 the remainder established
this scholarship fund. She was motivated to have a positive impact on the
lives of future Carroll students who demonstrate financial need. Priscilla’s son

Chicago for 40 years before moving to Canada. Gladys long suffered with
spinal meningitis, and as a result was confined to her bed. After her death
in 1992, George wanted to do something in Gladys’ memory at her alma
mater. Richter’s impetus for supporting the health sciences and scholarships
for nursing was spurred by his experience as Gladys’ health failed. He was
heartened by the quality of care his wife received and wanted to support the
education and training of those who will provide that level of care to others in
need. The Richter Scholars are recognized for outstanding achievement in the
field of nursing.

loyal alumni generous with both their time and resources. Louise served on the
Carroll Alumni Council helping engage alumni and shape future programming.
She also was active in class reunions and served as a class agent for many
years. They generously provided funds in support of the Humphrey Art Center
and Chapel with the Rowe Art Gallery named in their honor. Their scholarship

Dr. Joseph E. Runkel Scholarship
Funded annually through the generosity of Phillip Runkel '69.
Dr. Joseph E. Runkel was the founder of Carroll’s psychology department,
devoting nearly 50 years of his life to Carroll. A Waukesha native, Runkel
enrolled at Carroll in 1928 and graduated magna cum laude in 1933 with a
bachelor’s degree in psychology. He spent five years away from Waukesha,
receiving his master’s degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota,
before returning in 1938 to join the faculty of the education department. In
1946, Runkel founded the psychology department, and was chairman until
his retirement in 1976 when he was awarded emeritus status by the board of
trustees. Dr. Runkel died at the age of 67 of a heart attack. The Runkel family’s
connection to Carroll goes beyond Joseph. Runkel’s wife, Lydia, also worked
at Carroll where she was a member of the art department. According to
Carroll records, she was the first woman allowed to remain on the faculty after
marriage; not only because of her excellent teaching record, but also to the
dearth of male faculty in the World War II years. Their son Phillip also attended
Carroll graduating in 1969 with a bachelor’s degree in history. Phillip annually
contributes to current scholarships in his father’s honor, providing support to
outstanding psychology students.

Robert W. Schindler Scholarship Fund
Established by Robert W. Schindler '41 in 2006.
In 1939, Robert Schindler was in need of financial aid. He was studying
engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison when his younger sister
graduated from high school. There wasn’t enough money for both siblings to
attend college so it was up to Schindler to provide for his own education. With
the help of former Carroll President Gerrit Vander Lugt, Schindler received a
scholarship, and was able to transfer to Carroll and complete his studies. He
graduated in 1941 with a major in economics and psychology, and worked
much of his career at Globe Union in human resources, performing and
improving mental evaluations and serving as the national manager of health
and safety. He retired on October 1, 1978, ten days before the company was
acquired by Johnson Controls. Robert established this endowed scholarship
fund to provide scholarship aid to students in financial need. The motivation
behind his generosity was to help students in their continued pursuit of a
college degree, knowing there are many students who struggle with the
financial burdens as he did when a student. Bob died in 2014; his son remains
active in the fund.

Established by Alfreda Stallman Schlueter in 1989.
Carroll’s proud reputation is founded on the scores of administrators, faculty,

emeritus of Greek and Latin and taught at Carroll from 1941 until her retirement
in 1975. She also was an active member of the Methodist church, serving as a
district officer distributing publications to people making them aware of various
Christian global concerns, and served as the financial secretary at the Salem
United Methodist Church. More than just an employer, Carroll was a special
place to Alfreda. She remained active with the college until her death, and
provided funds to establish this scholarship supporting worthy students, with
preference to those studying a foreign language, with secondary preference to
English or history majors.

of her generosity, helping future generations receive a college education.

Dr. Scholl Foundation Scholarship Fund for Nursing
Established by the Dr. Scholl Foundation in 1987.
The Dr. Scholl Foundation was established by Dr. William M. Scholl in
1947. It is a charitable, grantmaking foundation created from the success of
the business Scholl founded, the Scholl Manufacturing Company. Scholl was
born into a family of 13 children in 1882, the son of Indiana dairy farmers. On
that small farm, he learned the values of a strong work ethic combined with
compassion for the less fortunate. He left the farm at age 16 to apprentice in a
shoemaker's shop, where he noted the number of customers who complained
of foot pain and discomfort. Intrigued by the ailments of the foot, he attended
Illinois Medical College, now Loyola University, and earned his medical degree
in 1904. He never practiced medicine; but over the next 50 years, he built a
great corporation out of the simple belief that "when your feet hurt, you hurt
all over." The Dr. Scholl Foundation continues his legacy by providing aid to
organizations that improve our communities. This endowed scholarship fund
was established by the Dr. Scholl Foundation to provide aid to worthy nursing
students at Carroll.
Schroetter/Hsu Scholarship Fund
Established by John T. Hsu '53 in 1999.
John T. Hsu '53 is one of the few musicians in the world considered a
virtuoso player of the viola da gamba, a bowed, stringed musical instrument
developed in the mid-late 15th century used primarily in the Renaissance and
Baroque periods; and the rare baryton, viewed as a sort of augmented bass
viol, distinguished by an extra set of plucked strings. He actively researches
the early compositions of Joseph Haydn, 18th century Austrian composer, and
recreates the music’s delicate beauty. His efforts have won acclaim from both
the public and critics. He has performed around the world, from New York’s
Lincoln Center to the Esterhazy Palace in Austria. John came to Carroll on a
scholarship from Shanghai, China, in 1949. His cello teacher, Josef Schroetter,
recognized his tremendous talent and encouraged him to apply to the New
England Conservatory of Music. So although he did not graduate from Carroll,
he fondly recalls his time on campus as a turning point in his young life as
a musician. During his career, he was professor of humanities and music
at Cornell University, conductor of the Apollo Ensemble, and founder and
member of the Haydn Baryton Trio. Hsu established this scholarship in his
name and the name of his Carroll mentor to provide assistance to students
demonstrating financial need who maintain a 3.0 grade point average or better.

scholarship honors Paul Schwab’s loyal support of Carroll by supporting students
based on financial need, good academic and social standing. The Paul Schwab
Scholar should be recognized by others as honest, thoughtful, responsible, and
citizens with high moral fiber—reflecting some of the qualities Paul exhibited in
his life. Paul was a 1969 graduate of Carroll, majoring in geography and minoring
in history. This scholarship was established by his mother Ruth and brother and
sister-in-law after his death in 1990. Consideration is not open to students who

Dr. John C. Seidel and Dr. Floyd L. Judd
Scholarship Fund
Established by family and friends of John C. Seidel in 1989.
John and Floyd were classmates during their time at Carroll; they were
also great friends. Despite having muscular dystrophy, John (“Jack”) Seidel
'56 graduated from Carroll with a degree in chemistry, and went on to lead a
successful career as a researcher. He received his doctorate in biochemistry
from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1961, after which he joined the
Boston Biomedical Research Institute in the Department of Muscle Research.
There he rose to the position of senior staff scientist. Judd also graduated in
1956, majoring in physics and mathematics. His career led him into the field
of education serving as a professor of physics at California State University.
This scholarship was established after John’s death by his friends and family
to honor his life’s work—and the great friendship between Seidel and Judd.
Priority is given to students who may suffer from a physical handicap; and
second, to students who are majoring in the natural sciences who exhibit
exemplary character. Dr. Judd and Dr. Seidel’s wife remain active with the fund.

Roger Teuscher '64 and Susan Teuscher Leroux '73 in 1998.
Siblings Roger Teuscher '64 and Susan Teuscher Leroux '73 enjoyed their
Carroll experience. This scholarship was established by their mother’s cousin,
Mr. Herbert H. Goodman, in their honor to provide financial support to fulltime students attending Carroll, with preference to those from rural areas.
Goodman, who was born in Monroe, Wis., worked at the Puget Sound Naval
Shipyard until he suffered a stroke in January 1998. He lived a modest life,
purchased his clothes from thrift stores, rode a bicycle to and from work, and
watched television on a black and white set. The residue of his estate was left

Roberta Cooper Froncek '44. Mary and Roberta were members of the Theta Pi
Delta sorority, now Delta Zeta. To Mary, Roberta “Bert” was an example of all
that is good about being part of a sorority. Bert was keenly interested in others,
always smiling, full of fun, engaged in her school activities as a student and
following graduation as an alumna. The Gough’s intention in establishing this
scholarship was that members of the sorority would have a fund to contribute
to in honor or memory of their sorority sisters—providing financial aid to
worthy students attending Carroll.
Marna and Kent Tess-Mattner Endowed
Scholarship Fund
Established by Marna '75 and Kent '75 Tess-Mattner in 2012.
The Carroll campus is a very meaningful place for Marna '75 and Kent '75
Tess-Mattner. It is a place where they met, fell in love and got married. It is also
a place that provided an educational and spiritual foundation for their future
professional and personal goals. In recalling their Carroll experience, they
both found serving in leadership and service positions on campus to be most
formative and rewarding. Marna majored in social work and was a member
of the Choir and Student Senate. Kent majored in religion and philosophy
and was a member of the Student Senate and offered the Class of 1975
Commencement address. Professionally, they would both go on to become

Fox, S.C. They have remained avid and loyal contributors to Carroll ever since
their graduation. Marna has served on Carroll’s Alumni Council and began her
tenure on its Board of Trustees in 2004. As the first woman to chair the Carroll
Board, she provided a unique experience and clear counsel in the shaping of
many key decisions. She was instrumental in the 2012 revision of Carroll’s
mission statement, which reaffirmed our heritage as well as set the stage for
the future. The Tess-Mattner Scholarship Fund is yet another example of the
couple’s tremendous contributions to the campus. This scholarship continues
their legacy, providing support for deserving students who are active student

Vaughn-Marquis Scholarship Fund
Established by United Presbyterian Church of the Wisconsin Synod
in 1972.
Many Presbyterian women in the late 19th Century were not content
to confine themselves to the traditional feminine role of home and family,
and sought an outlet for their talents in socially acceptable “church work”
including education services, youth programming, and basic need provisions.
Mrs. Vaughn-Marquis was known as a socially progressive, liberal woman
active in the Presbyterian Church. She was a selfless, devoted woman helping
build better communities and lives through her volunteerism in the Woman’s
Wisconsin Synodical Society. As part of her estate, she left the majority of her
remaining assets to the Presbyterian Church to support future ministries. This
scholarship bearing her family name was established by the Wisconsin Synod
of the United Presbyterian Church honoring the legacy of the former Wisconsin
Synodical Society and the women who were integral in expanding services
throughout the state.

Funded annually through the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Victor
Vega Educational Fund.
Victor Vega, a native of Peru, was sent to the U.S. by his parents in the early
1930s so that he might benefit from the high standards of education here.
Wanting to pay that kind of opportunity forward for future generations, Vega
established a charitable fund at the Greater Milwaukee Foundation to continue
his interests in perpetuity helping students attending Wisconsin institutions
of higher learning. Carroll annually receives support through the Victor Vega
Educational Fund at the Greater Milwaukee Foundation providing financial
assistance to students from Peru or other South American countries.

once family-owned farm of Allan and Mildred Steele. The Steele family farm
was where Janice was raised along with her sister Helen (Steele) ’33. Helen
and Janice both valued and understood the importance of education. Although
Janice did not attend Carroll, she established this scholarship in her and her
late husband Carl’s name. The income from this fund is used for scholarships
for commuting students at Carroll. Professionally, Janice led a career serving as
secretary to the chairman of the Metallurgical Branch of the Steel Division in
Washington, D.C. She generously volunteered her time to the Salvation Army,

Club and Wisconsin Cheesemakers Association. The H.A. Verhulst Foundation
provided monies to Carroll in 1954 for the establishment of permanent

Waukesha State Bank Scholars Program
Established by Waukesha State Bank in 1996.
The ties that bind Carroll University and Waukesha State Bank go back
decades. Carl Taylor, who established the bank in 1944, was a self-made
Oklahoma native who worked his way through high school and went on to
earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. At one point in his college career,
Taylor received a scholarship from an anonymous donor. He long remembered
that selflessness, and that motivated his family’s commitment and generosity
throughout his career. After 25 years in business, Carl retired as president in
1969. Don Taylor, whose lifetime career was the bank, then succeeded his
father as president and led the bank's growth for the next quarter-century. Don
served on the Carroll Board of Trustees from 1981-1992. He retired in 1994,
and Carroll graduate Marty Frank ’63, who joined the bank's staff as a high
school senior in 1959, was elected president to follow Taylor’s footsteps. Like
all the bank's leaders, Marty was active in many business, civic and community
organizations. He, too, served on the Carroll Board of Trustees, and was
chairman of the board’s investment committee from 2003 until his untimely
death in 2008. The bank, now under the leadership of Carl’s grandson, Ty R.
Taylor, is continuing the Taylor family legacy and guiding business principle—“A
Bank is People!" Ty also remains an instrumental part of the civic community,
currently serving on the Carroll Board of Trustees. Since the inception of the

awarded to incoming freshman who are high-achieving Waukesha County
students. This program continues the leadership and community service work
of the bank, and honors Carl’s legacy and commitment to education.
Wells Fargo Scholars Program
Funded annually through the generosity of Wells Fargo Bank.
In 1852, Henry Wells and William Fargo founded Wells, Fargo & Co. to serve
the new Western frontier in banking—the buying of gold, and selling paper
bank drafts as good as gold. They opened for business in the gold rush port of
San Francisco, and quickly offices opened in the other cities and mining camps
of the West. In the boom and bust economy of the 1850s, Wells Fargo earned
a reputation of trust by dealing promptly and responsibly with people’s money.
Its corporate symbol, the grand adventure of the overland stagecoach line,
represents the long-standing roots of the company in America’s history. Today,
Wells Fargo is a diversified financial services company providing banking,
insurance, investments, mortgage, and consumer and commercial finance
through more than 20,000 outlets across North America and internationally.
As a corporate partner, Wells Fargo has built an internal culture of giving
back to communities through the promotion of volunteerism among its team
members. Two members of Wells Fargo’s local leadership serves on the
President’s Advisory Council at Carroll. Their involvement and commitment to
the continued success of Carroll led to the establishment of the Wells Fargo
Scholars Program. Wells Fargo annually contributes to current scholarships,
helping future generations obtain a Carroll education more affordable.
