William F. Connell Memorial Scholarship

After having discovered a new variety of apple in 1949, William Connell grew his meager orchard, into a 13,000 tree orchard – and the home to his namesake – the Connell Red Apple. In addition to running the Connell’s Orchard, Mr. Connell also served as president of the Wisconsin Horticultural Society. This scholarship for horticulture students was established as a memorial of his achievements by friends and family.
