Ron and Viola Rochlitz Memorial Agriculture Scholarship

This scholarship was established in 2003 to honor the lives and legacy of Ron Rochlitz, his mother Viola and their deep-rooted connection to agriculture, horsemanship, and rural values. Ron was a dedicated horse trainer whose life reflected a strong work ethic and commitment to the agricultural way of life. A homemaker, Vi Rochlitz devoted her life to family and community, exemplifying the quiet strength and values that sustain rural America. This endowed scholarship supports students at Northwest College who are pursuing a degree in agriculture with preference given to those interested in participation on the NWC rodeo team.
