KATHERINE PRICHARD BENZ AWARD

Katherine Prichard Benz attended summer school at UW–Madison in 1949. Although she hoped to pursue her MSW degree that fall, she lacked the necessary financial resources. Fortunately the university awarded her a scholarship, which combined with a part-time job, enabled her to complete her MSW degree in 1951. Hoping to afford other social work students the same opportunity, she has established the Katherine Prichard Benz Fund.
