Joseph Weirick Scholarship Fund

Joe Weirick was a proud Beloit native, was starting point guard on Beloit Catholic High School’s 1976-77 State Basketball Championship team, and went on to become a successful and respected real estate executive in Milwaukee. Athletics instilled Joe with values of determination and hard work, and provided him with treasured, lifelong friendships. Joe also recognized the value of a post secondary education and was an interested lifelong learner. The Joe Weirick Memorial Scholarship supports students pursuing athletics in post secondary education with the hope that recipients will receive the same benefits which helped Joe find success and happiness.
