The UW Board of Regents accepted a bequest to establish the Evelyn T. Crowe Scholarship Fund in July 1986, for “Scholarships in Rural Sociology.” Evelyn T. Crowe was an undergraduate major in what was known then as “rural sociology” in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and wished to recognize her appreciation for her excellent education by establishing this scholarship for undergraduates and graduate students in our department. In June 2003, the University of Wisconsin Foundation received an additional bequest from the estate of Evelyn T. Crowe for the same purpose—providing scholarship support to “rural sociology” students. We recognize her wishes by inviting applications from undergraduates who major in Community and Environmental Sociology and from graduate students who are advised by faculty members in our department.
