Conger, Julia Henning

Overview

Established in 1963 through a bequest of Ms. Conger and memorial gifts from family and friends to provide undergraduate scholarships for young women from the Grand Rapids area. While following the more typical pursuits of women of her time—those of wife and mother—Julia Conger was also an energetic leader of her U-M alumnae club, which was later named in her honor. All four of the Congers' sons earned degrees from the University of Michigan and became generous and loyal supporters of the university.
