Richard and Virginia Erickson Music Scholarship

Richard and Virginia Erickson Music Scholarship

The Richard E. Erickson Music Scholarship was established in 2012 by Superior Savings Bank. The bank wished to honor Mr. Erickson, who was Chairman and Director of the Board at Superior Savings Bank for 55 years. The scholarship was renamed the Richard and Virginia Erickson Scholarship in 2014, when Virginia passed away. Both Mr. and Mrs. Erickson were 1942 graduates of Superior State Teachers College, and avid supporters of the music department at UW-Superior. The couple were even named as Honorary Alumni of the UW-Superior Music Department.

Scholarship criteria: For a music major in good academic standing, must be a sophomore or higher.
