John C. Deetz Scholarship Grant

The John C. Deetz Scholarship, offered by The Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin, supports high school seniors from specific schools pursuing higher education in agriculture. This scholarship emphasizes financial need without imposing it as a strict requirement. It aims to foster students' academic and career aspirations in sustainable farming practices and agricultural research, enhancing the quality of life in Southern Wisconsin.

The Community Foundation is a repository for more than 900 charitable funds worth more than $90 million. We service these funds by managing the investment, encouraging and supporting additions, overseeing the disbursement of grants and scholarships, and managing the requisite government paperwork.
The Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin serves communities in nine Southern Wisconsin counties: Crawford, Grant, Green, Iowa, Lafayette, Rock, Sauk, Vernon, and Walworth.
Available to students from: Argyle High School, Belmont High School, Benton High School, Black Hawk High School, Darlington High School, Pecatonica High School, Shullsburg High School.
Established for graduating seniors who will be attending an accredited college, university or technical school pursuing a career in agriculture (including but not limited to: furthering biological, sustainable environmentally friendly farming practices and/or similar agricultural research and education).
