Woodies Scholarships Awarded To Local Students
Each year, high school and college students are given the opportunity to apply for the Woodies Supermarket Scholarship Fund. This year, 16 high school and 10 college students were awarded scholarships totaling $24,000 to pursue their academic careers.
Woodies Supermarket Scholarship Fund was founded in 1978 by Woodie and Devota Schramm. Woodie was a businessman in the Warsaw and Bremen areas. His wife, Devota, was a former teacher at Atwood Elementary. The Schramms chose to share the rewards of their hard work and dedication to give other young people an opportunity.
This fund has contributed $744,050 to 1,323 Warsaw graduates since the fund’s inception in 1978.
