Barbara M. Clauser Endowed Scholarship
Ronald P. Clauser established this fund in memory of his wife, Barbara M. Clauser. She was born Barbara Kay Manus in Lincoln, Illinois; married Ron in 1957; and graduated from Illinois State Normal University later that year. She then taught high school home economics for one year. After Ron's graduation, they moved to Ohio and, later, the Carolinas. Barbara never returned to full time teaching, but used her skills to provide for their three daughters and son. The purpose of this fund is to provide educational support to undergraduate or graduate students majoring in a degree program within the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences.
