The Jesse E. Wrench Memorial Scholarship, named in honor of Professor Wrench, who is often described as the “Father of Missouri Archaeology”, was established in 1959. This scholarship is awarded to outstanding undergraduate students majoring in anthropology who demonstrate academic excellence. The Department of Anthropology’s goal is to increase the endowment fund thereby preserving Dr. Jesse Wrench’s memory through more student awards, and at the same time acknowledging the department’s many outstanding students. Your donation now is an investment in anthropology’s future.
