Department Scholarships

The Lillian Campbell Medical Scholarship was started to honor our Wisconsin Auxiliary member, Lillian Campbell from Neenah, WI, who went on to become our National Auxiliary President during the Golden Anniversary year of 1963-1964.  Sadly, Lillian passed away at the wonderous age of 98 on May 26, 1996.  Funds raised for this scholarship allow us to give out multiple scholarships of $1,000 to applicants currently enrolled in a medical field.  Examples of eligible student programs are:  Nursing, Pharmacist, Physician Assistants, Medical and Surgical Technicians, Physical and Occupational Therapists, Dental, Radiology and several other related medical professions.  First year students for Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or Paramedic students are eligible for a $750 scholarship.

Applicant or a member of his/her immediate family must have served in the Military.  Applicant must be in a college or technical college and in a medical field at least one year prior to applying.  Application and required documents must be received by April 1st.

Complete rules and the application form can be found below in the Resources section of this page.

Applicant must be a Wisconsin resident and a grandson/granddaughter, son/daughter or a VFW or Auxiliary member in good standing.  Deadline is April 30th of each year.  (Any applications received on or after May 1st will not be considered.)
