A Decorah High School graduate is receiving an Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps scholarship to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Dawson Bauer is the son of Fred and Suzi Bauer of Decorah and the grandson of Erich Bauer of Medway, Ohio and John G. Swenson of Bismark, North Dakota.

The scholarship covers tuition and fees, a $600 allowance for textbooks and a monthly stipend for up to 10 months each school year that the cadet completes.

Upon graduation and completion of the ROTC program, Bauer will be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Air Force and will spend at least four years on active duty.
