History
This scholarship was established by Professor Emeritus of History, Joseph Fracchia:“In honor of “my parents George and Vera Fracchia, for the love, generosity and security that gave me the opportunity to do so many things that they, whose lives were filled with making a living and caring for their family, were never able to do – who made it possible for me, among many other things, to get the education that enabled me to get a job as professor in the Clark Honors College, that, in turn, has made this scholarship possible, and for Carla Gary for her invaluable contributions to teaching and mentoring socio-economically disadvantaged students, for conceiving and building programs (most notably the Oregon Young Scholars Program) to assist them, and that have had a profound impact on the University of Oregon, the state of Oregon, and across the country.
