Society Insurance donated $2,200 to the UW-Fond du Lac Foundation and a $1,000 scholarship will be awarded next year.

“UW-Fond du Lac is a tremendous asset for our community,” said Parks. “Whether it is a start for a young person coming out of high school or an avenue for non-traditional students to use after they have started their working life, UW-Fond du Lac offers an affordable option for students that can also accommodate their busy lives. Many employees at Society Insurance have continued their education at UW-Fond du Lac. We are happy to partner with them to help students.”

The UW-Fond du Lac Foundation provides scholarship opportunities for students and promotes excellence at the university while enhancing the educational and cultural activities on campus.
