Fisher Scholarship Fund

The Fisher Scholarship is made possible by a series of major gifts from George F. and Lina C. Fisher to the University of New Hampshire Foundation. George Fisher received the Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering at UNH in 1950. The purpose of the scholarship fund is to provide financial assistance to undergraduate and/or graduate students at the University within the ECE Department. Awards from the fund are made on the basis of merit, although financial need may also be considered.

This year there were three recipients of the Fisher Scholarship: Mike E. Dalton from Windham, NH; William M. Roy from Plaistow, NH; and Melissa J. Wood from Litchfield, NH. All three of these students were near the top of their class in academics. In addition, Mike Dalton works in the ECE Department's Robotics Laboratory as a student researcher. Mike's research focuses on interactive instructional systems for computer communication technologies in cooperation with UNH's InterOperability Laboratory. During the summer Melissa Wood is working at Sanders, A Lockheed Martin Company. William Roy spent two years at McGill University in Canada before coming to UNH.
