This scholarship was established with a gift from Bauer Built (Durand, WI) through the efforts of Jerry Bauer, president of Bauer Built and a 1974 UW-Eau Claire graduate, to recognize the great need for and shortage of health-care professionals in our state and nation. This gift was matched by the Casper Foundation challenge grant. Letters of appreciation should be addressed to Mr. Jerry Bauer and sent in care of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation.
