More Info

The John D. Wrasse, M.D., Memorial Scholarship was created to provide support to nontraditional medical students with preference for a student with interest in practicing pediatrics. This scholarship is endowed and donors' gifts will be invested to create a fund that will last in perpetuity in John's honor.

John was a loving father, husband, and community leader, constantly striving to serve those around him. He was passionate and driven, choosing to pursue a BA in Chemistry and an MD after working at Indiana University for a decade. His example will live to inspire other students who follow in his footsteps.
