Each year, Warsaw Community High School and college students are given the opportunity to apply for the Woodies Supermarket Scholarship Fund. This year, 20 high school and 11 college students (total of $25,500) were given scholarships to pursue their academic careers.
Woodies Supermarket Scholarship Fund was founded in 1978 by Woodie and Devota Schramm. Woodie was a businessman in Warsaw and Bremen and was the founder of Woodies Supermarkets. His wife, Devota, was a teacher at Atwood Elementary. Mr. and Mrs. Schramm chose to share the rewards of their hard work and dedication to give other young people an opportunity to pursue higher education.
This fund is managed locally by the Warsaw branch of 1st Source Bank’s Wealth Advisory Services. For additional information, contact Tom Tearney at 574-268-1207. The scholarship fund has contributed approximately $915,000 to 1,480 Warsaw graduates since the Fund's inception in 1978.
