Scholarships
The Nathaniel E. Williams Scholarship was established to celebrate the life of Nathaniel “Fish” Williams. Nathaniel had many passions, but foremost was a life-long love of fishing and the outdoors, and a life-long love of learning. While a student at UMM, Nathaniel frequently used the resources available to him through the Disability Services Office and the Academic Assistance Center.
