Terry Anderson Community Scholarship

Terry graduated from Amherst High School in 1958, and from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa in 1962 with a degree in Business Administration. After a distinguished banking career which carried him throughout Wisconsin, he returned to the area as president of the local F & M Bank in 1990.

Education and community service were always very high priorities for Terry. He served on countless non-profit boards of directors and was involved in numerous fund-raising campaigns benefiting the local area. He was especially active in Amherst High School athletics and a proud supporter of all Falcon sports teams. Several trophies bearing his name still adorn the trophy case in the Amherst High School commons area.

Terry is perhaps best known for being the primary “mover and shaker” behind the Tomorrow River Scholarship Foundation, Inc. from its humble beginnings in 1994 with four scholarships awarded. Terry maintained a very sincere love of the foundation and was willing to do “whatever it takes” to allow the foundation to grow and prosper.

The Terry Anderson Community Scholarship requires a high level of community involvement, a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and a high level of participation in school activities including sports, clubs and other extra-curricular activities.
