Walker Scholarship Fund

The Frederick N. Walker Jr. Scholarship was made possible by a major gift from Adelaide L. Walker in memory of Lt. Col. Frederick N. Walker Jr. (’33). Lt. Col. Walker received the B.S. degree in Engineering in the UNH class of 1933. He worked as an engineer at the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, and later the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, while simultaneously serving as a 2^nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserves. He went on active duty with the U.S. Army in 1940, serving subsequently in Japan, Korea, Guam, and the Philippines. He retired from the army while holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. The purpose of the scholarship fund is to foster education for a student or students in electrical engineering.
