Casey Gazdik Memorial Scholarship
Casey was a UWSP Health Promotion major in 2002
when he suddenly became ill and died from blastomycosis. Casey loved
the outdoors and was an avid hunter and
fisherman. This scholarship was created by his friends at UWSP and
initial funding came from a walk-a-thon
organized by Casey’s friends and classmates.
One student in particular, Trisha Mattke, was instrumental in
creating and raising funds for this endowment. This scholarship is
available to Health Promotion majors who have high financial need and
strong potential for success in the field and involvement in
extra-curricular activities.
