Woodies Supermarket Scholarship Fund was founded in 1978 by Woodie and Devota Schramm. Woodie was a businessman in Warsaw and Bremen and was the founder of Woodies Supermarkets. His wife, Devota, was a teacher at Atwood Elementary. Mr. and Mrs. Schramm chose to share the rewards of their hard work and dedication to give other young people an opportunity to pursue higher education.
This fund is managed locally by the Warsaw branch of 1st Source Bank’s Wealth Advisory Services. For additional information, contact Trevor Ross at 574-268-1247.
The scholarship fund has given scholarships to 1,423 Warsaw graduates, totaling $841,500 since its inception in 1978.
