This scholarship was established by Tom Grewe to recognize his appreciation and fondness for the Art Department. After retirement from his life-long, successful career as a dentist, he pursued his artistic skills and interests by taking many classes in the Art department. He is known for his talent in sculpture and his artistic accomplishments were displayed in the Foster Art Gallery during the Juried Art Show. Tom’s interest in assisting those students who are not eligible for other funding sources has provided the impetus for this Fine Arts Scholarship. Letters of appreciation should be addressed to Dr. Thomas M. Grewe, in care of the Foundation Office.
