The Grossnickle family established the Steve Grossnickle Memorial Scholarship Fund in memory of Dr. Steve Grossnickle.

WARSAW —  Dr. Steve Grossnickle, ophthalmologist and founder of Grossnickle Eye Center, dedicated his life to serving his patients. He was passionate about helping people with their vision through his precision as a surgeon. When Steve passed away Aug. 27, 2019, his wife Lori and the Grossnickle family wanted to find a way for Steve’s legacy to continue helping people, and established the Steve Grossnickle Memorial Scholarship Fund. 

The Steve Grossnickle Memorial Scholarship Fund will provide educational scholarships for students who are accepted into and attend accredited two- or four- year public or private institutions of higher learning to pursue a degree in any medical field of study. Eligible students must be a graduating senior or a past graduate of Warsaw Community High School, have a good academic record and have demonstrated community involvement by participation in extracurricular activities.
