Eleanor Bartig Memorial Scholarship

In 1947, the Wisconsin State Journal carried an article with a headline encapsulating that Eleanor Bartig was the lone woman with 114 male students in an agricultural extension program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Eleanor referred to her role in life as a “domestic engineer” and would enjoy knowing that both women AND men would be taking courses in early childhood development, parent education, as well as agriculture. This scholarship is given in her honor.
