Racine Christopher Columbus Quincentenary Scholarship Fund

Racine Community Foundation

In 1990, Racine Mayor Owen Davies convened the Racine Christopher Columbus Quincentenary Commission which, in turn, established this scholarship in 1994. Its two primary goals were to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus' voyage to the New World, and to establish a perpetual scholarship fund from which annual scholarships would be awarded to students of Racine County high schools to further their education. An application is available through the high school guidance offices.
