Douglas Williams Scholarship Fencing Tournament


Douglas Williams was a 1964 Reed College graduate who continued his life long passion for fencing after leaving Reed. In 1998 Williams endowed a scholarship that would be awarded to financially deserving student fencers. The Annual Williams Scholarship Fencing Tournament is held each November. The $10,000 scholarship is shared by the top three tournament finishers eligible for financial aid. Non financial aid finishers are awarded hand-crafted gold, silver and bronze pins in the shape of fencing foils.
