Brunswick/Sigrist Endowed Scholarship

Robert C. Sigrist, class of 1959, retired president of the defense division of Brunswick Corporation, established The Brunswick/Sigrist Endowed Scholarship in 1995 through The Brunswick Foundation. Mr. Sigrist earned his BSBA by attending the University at night and working full time until a year before graduation. During that year, Mr. Sigrist attended the University full time to complete his degree. To assist and encourage College of Business Administration students to complete a business degree, The Brunswick/Sigrist Endowed Scholarship is awarded to an upper classperson (sophomore, junior, or senior) in the College of Business who has demonstrated high achievement in both leadership and scholarship without regard for financial need. The scholarship is awarded for the duration of the student’s academic program, provided he or she maintains a 3.0 (out of a possible 4.0) GPA and carries at least 10 hours. Priority will be given to students who are employed at least part time while attending the College of Business Administration and whose educational objective is to work in the industry and business community upon graduation.
