The Joan Waier Memorial Endowed Scholarship fund has been created in honor of Joan M. Waier, who was born in Whitelaw, Wisconsin. Joan passed away in Janesville, Wisconsin on June 15, 2020.   As a potential and shining first-generation college student Joan experienced the same hurdles to access higher education than as today’s generation such as lacking college guidance counseling teams, a peer network, and financial resources.  Today’s easy access to career exploration, higher education information, and financial aid applications at our fingertips did not exist in the 1950s.  Without mentorship, guidance counseling staff, or a network of college peers she entered the working world. She often provided childcare throughout the years, providing learning experiences for each of them.    A purposeful and focused woman, she devoted her time to her family, recognizing the value of a small circle of drama-free friendships. Joan took great pride in her agricultural roots, as her family had a farm in Whitelaw, Wisconsin.
