Dorothy Uphoff Camp Endowed Scholarship

Scholarship Purpose: The Dorothy Uphoff Camp Endowed Scholarship was established in 2010 by the children and friends of Dorothy Camp, a 1940 business teacher education graduate of Illinois State Normal University. Dorothy believed strongly in the value of education. One of four children her parents raised in Hudson, Illinois, Dorothy was teaching in Lewiston when she decided to enlist in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. Lt. Uphoff finished her service in 1945 and, with the help of the G.I. Bill, headed for New York City to enroll in Columbia Teacher's College for a master's degree. There she met another G.I. Bill student, her future husband, Daniel Camp. They moved to four different states and Thailand, and Dorothy landed school jobs at each location, retiring in 1987.
