Benefit of the James Reinowski Memorial Scholarship Fund
Jim Reinowski was a long time member involved in all phases of the Section activities. His sudden passing in January 1994 left a void in our organization. The IES Milwaukee Section established a scholarship fund in 1993 to assist applicants registered in a College or University, working towards a degree in engineering, science, architecture, interior design, or related degree whose curriculum is related to illumination. The Scholarship is available to students with the reference of an IES member during their junior or senior year of college. This scholarship was renamed The James E. Reinowski Memorial Scholarship in memory of Jim’s support and service to the industry and this organization.
