About the Gerald Bloedow Scholarship
Founded in 1976, the mission of the Minnesota Gerontological Society
(MGS) is to serve as a bridge between academics, research and
practice in the field of aging. In 1994, MGS established the Bloedow
Scholarship fund to honor the lifelong contributions of Gerald
Bloedow to the field of aging and to provide financial assistance to
undergraduate and graduate students to further their education in
gerontology.
Gerald Bloedow was Director of the Minnesota Board on Aging from
1966 until 1994. Prior to this he directed many community
organization projects for the Governor's Citizen Council on Aging.
Gerald was a founding member of MGS in 1976. The fund was
established by Elva Walker Spillane and Ann Wood to honor the
lifelong contributions of Gerald Bloedow to the field of aging and
to provide assistance to students in this field.
