The family of an Appleton firefighter killed in the line of duty is setting up a scholarship for Fox Valley Technical College students.
Driver-Engineer Mitch Lundgaard was shot to death on a medical call in May.
Julie Coenen of the school’s foundation says the family set up a legacy scholarship to honor his memory forever. She says they were able to issue the first award to a fire protection student this semester.
Coenen says that first scholarship is be in the $500 range. As the endowment grows, they hope to increase the amount, and number of scholarships they hand out every semester.
