Jean S. Fricke Criminal Justice Scholarship

The scholarship was established by Jean Fricke. After completing active duty service in the United States Army in 1978, Jean decided to pursue her goal of earning a college degree. In 1982, Jean successfully completed a B.S. in Criminal Justice from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Years later and still passionate about the field of Criminal Justice, Jean completed her Master of Science degree in Criminal Justice from UW-Platteville in 2007. After completing her master’s degree, Jean felt that it was important to continue to encourage and facilitate others who shared not only her passion for the field of Criminal Justice, but also for education, the administration of truth and justice and perhaps most importantly, for the pursuit of goals and dreams!
