Geraldine Irene Edwards Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship was established in 2019 by Jeremiah Kaminski, a 2017 graduate of the College who majored in Wildland Fire Science, in memory of his grandmother, Geraldine Edwards, who “exhibited selflessness and perseverance throughout her years.” Jeremiah hopes this award will honor her memory and pass it forward to help others pursue their dreams.

Gordon Agne Memorial Forestry Scholarship
This scholarship was created by the estate of Gordon R. Agne of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Gordon’s son, Gordon W. Agne, was a 1971 UWSP Forestry graduate and an Army Captain who was killed in a helicopter accident on June 23, 1976. His father also served in the Army from 1942-45 in the South Pacific and was a graduate of Marquette University. He continued his service in the Army Officers Reserve Corps until 1962, and worked for International Harvester for 35 years before retiring in 1982. He died in 2016 at age 95, exactly 40 years after his son. This scholarship honors the memory of Gordon Agne – both father and son.

Gordon E. Kummer Memorial Scholarship
In 1954 Gordon E. Kummer had the foresight to purchase land which is now known as “Treehaven.” He was responsible for the 35-mile network of roads winding throughout the property, as well as the planting of more than 175,000 trees. After his death in 1958 his family continued to operate “Treehaven Tree Farm.” In 1979, 950 acres of the tree farm were gifted to UW-Stevens Point Foundation to serve as a biological field station for the College of Natural Resources. The scholarship supports students attending the six-week Field Techniques in Natural Resources course at Treehaven. Hattie Ulrich Wildlife Ecology and Management Baudette, Minnesota
