Jerry Shultz, Class of 1962, and his wife
Patsy Bymester Shultz established this fund to
provide financial assistance to deserving Butler
students who are members of the men’s basketball
team. Jerry Shultz received a scholarship
to Butler that allowed him to play football and
basketball for legendary coach Tony Hinkle.

and Jim, Class of 1992.
Helen Tewksbury Memorial Scholarship
Award. Helen Katterhenry Tewksbury holds
a special place in the hearts of many members
of the Butler family. During her 16 years of
employment at the University, she worked in
many offices and had an impact on many lives.
Her qualities made her a vital force for good in
the lives of bewildered new freshmen, anxious
seniors, or faculty and staff needing direction
and assurance…even a university president
facing potential chaos. Her lifelong love of
athletics grew into a passion for sports at Butler.
Her husband Richard L. Tewksbury Sr., family
and friends established this award in her loving
memory. It is awarded annually to one male
and one female student who meet academic
requirements and who have established themselves
as leaders in at least one varsity sport.
Phillip and Carolyn White Scholarship for
Men’s Basketball. This fund was established by
Phillip White, Class of 1961 M.S. ’64, and his
late wife Carolyn, who have been loyal supporters
of Butler athletics. Phil White was a 30-year
high school athletic director. This scholarship
assists deserving Butler students who are members
of the men’s basketball team. Recipients
are to be current scholarship players who are
in good academic standing in a degree-seeking
program at Butler.
Robert E. and Jean T. Wildman Athletic
Director’s Scholarship. This scholarship was
created by Robert and Jean Thomas Wildman,
both Class of 1944, who have supported an
amazing range of activities and programs at
Butler over several decades. The late Mr. Wildman
served on the Butler Board of Trustees for
18 years and received the Butler Medal in 1990.
He and Mrs. Wildman were co-recipients of
the Butler Mortar Award in 1998. This fund
provides financial assistance to full-time students
who are also athletes. The recipients — one
male and one female athlete per academic
year — are chosen by the athletic director in
cooperation with the Office of Financial Aid.
Max William Wiley Scholarship. Max Wiley
came through his formative years during the
Great Depression. He was the first member of
his family to pursue a college education and
he completed his education before serving his
country in WWII. When Max returned from
the service, he began a successful 40-year career
in business. Max was a tremendous example for
his four children and worked with each of them
as they completed undergraduate and graduate
degrees and embarked on successful careers of
their own. This fund was established to recognize
Max Wiley’s commitment to family, his
value of education, and his integrity. The
award will be given to a student athlete.
