George T. Warren Scholarship

History of George Warren Scholarship

George T. Warren was a graduate of University of Idaho College of Law and became a practicing attorney. In his later years, he experienced both sight and hearing loss. He also had a niece who became a wheelchair user in her mid-twenties. These personal experiences led him to leave an endowment to University of Idaho to assist students with certain disabilities who demonstrate financial need.
