FUND FOR WISCONSIN SCHOLARS

The Fund for Wisconsin Scholars was established in 2007 with a $175 million endowment from John Morgridge and his wife, Tashia. The chairman emeritus of Cisco Systems and his wife, who both graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, also support their alma mater and donated $10 million to Cisco’s Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The Morgridges were named to BusinessWeek's 2008 list of the 50 Top American Givers, which recognizes the most generous U.S. philanthropists.
