John V. Baumler Scholarship

The John V. Baumler Scholarship Fund was established in 1986 in memory of John V. Baumler, Professor of Business and Administrative Studies. Throughout Jack’s tenure on the Lewis & Clark College faculty, both he and his family took special interest in the College’s international students. Over the years, Dr. Baumler and his family served as hosts to a number of international students enrolled at the college and became very involved in international program and activities. Consistent with the wishes of the Baumler family, this scholarship is awarded annually to an international student for use during the subsequent academic year.

Winner of the John V. Baumler Scholarship in academic year 2009-10 is Yurop Shrestha.
