Hodgie Bricke Memorial Scholarship Fund

Margaret “Hodgie” Bricke’s commitment to international education remained constant throughout her three decades at KU. Hodgie founded GAP in 2004 and considered it one of her most important professional achievements. Family and friends are honoring her passion for international travel and education with the Hodgie Bricke Memorial Scholarship Fund.
