Robert “Bob” Swanson Memorial Scholarship

The Robert “Bob” Swanson Memorial scholarship is in remembrance of Navy Veteran Bob Swanson, who served on the USS Piedmont, a destroyer tender built during World War II. Upon his retirement from his position as Vice President of Physicians Mutual Insurance Company, Bob devoted himself to serving the Veteran and active duty community. Having been unable to complete his bachelors degree, this scholarship is to support those who are near completion of their undergraduate program (within 24 credit hours). Preference may be given to students who have exhausted their military-education benefits or their said benefits have expired. If you are Active Military, ROTC, or have Veteran status, you are eligible for the Robert Swanson Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is typically up to $1500 to be used in a single semester. Please note, if you have received this scholarship, previously, you are not eligible to apply.
