2026 CNR Scholarship Booklet

Erik Munson Memorial Graduate Research Scholarship

This scholarship was developed in memory of Erik S. Munson, a 1991 wildlife alumnus, who passed away in 1992 while working on his doctorate degree. His high scholastic achievement, dedication, and interest in avian biology were the inspiration for a graduate scholarship in his honor. Erik was passionately dedicated to the investigation of the ecology of birds, both in the classroom and in the field. He participated in several student-sponsored ornithological activities and frequently interacted with UW-Stevens Point faculty regarding their avian research. He often assisted undergraduate students with their bird-related interests. Emily Ritter Master of Natural Resources Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Frank and Kathleen Haeni Forestry Scholarship

Frank and Kathleen Haeni, UWSP Class of 1970, created this scholarship in honor of their outstanding education, the willingness of faculty to help them succeed as students, and their appreciation for the natural environment. They are proud that the tradition of openness and passion to further the education of students remains today. Frank is a practicing naturalist and continues to follow this passion in all walks of life. The generosity to create this fund is found in the great joy of giving back to the students that follow in their footsteps.
