Fox Valley SHRM Scholarships

Each year, the Fox Valley SHRM Chapter awards scholarships to college students who have demonstrated scholastic achievement and a commitment to continuing education.

Chuck Sauter Scholarship

This award is named in honor of Charles (Chuck) H. Sauter who was an icon in the Fox Valley/Oshkosh area in the Human Resources field back when our chapter was known as the Fox Valley Chapter of the American Society for Personnel Administration (FVC/ASPA). At the age of 31, Sauter was elected personnel director of both Valley Ban corporation and the holding company's largest affiliate, the Appleton State Bank, Appleton.

An Appleton native, Sauter attended high school there, graduated from St. Norbert College with a bachelor's degree and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a master's degree in Manpower Management from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Sauter was a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, National Business Honor Society, and was the president of the FVC/ASPA. Sauter also served with the U.S. Army in Italy. Sauter died in August of 1999, at the age of 57.

This scholarship is open to current student members of Fox Valley SHRM who are enrolled in classes within a degreed program for the full academic year. Not a member yet? Join for free today!
