2026 adult scholarship applications are now closed. Thank you to everyone who applied for the Richard “Fritz” Wurzer Memorial Scholarship. Applicants should refer to their application confirmation or email updates for next steps regarding their scholarship status.
“My father, Fritz, believed in the value of a good education. In a mid-career transition, he went back to school and received a master’s degree that led to several years teaching business and management classes at Anoka Technical and Anoka/Ramsey Community College.
Prior to finding his calling in the classroom, Fritz Wurzer was a market research analyst for Munsingwear, Inc. in Minneapolis. He was an avid reader, preferring history and biographies to fiction. Even in his later years and living with dementia, he attended adult education and enrichment classes.
My father died in 2014 and it’s been a dream of mine since his passing to create a scholarship to celebrate his thirst for learning and to commemorate his dogged attempts at career reinvention in his 40s and beyond. I’m thrilled that this dream is being made possible by TruStone Financial.”
-Cathy Wurzer, Minnesota Public Radio host
