Oscar and Rosetta Fish

Oscar and Rosetta Fish Fund 

The Fish Fund was established by Oscar and Rosetta Fish. Rosetta Ramsey was a Speech Pathologist from Ohio who moved to Hawaiʻi in the early 1940s and taught speech at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. She later married Oscar Fish, a successful businessman who was a member of UH’s College of Business Administration’s first graduating class in 1959. Oscar had the distinction of being the first returning adult student who graduated with an MBA from UH. Proud of his accomplishment, the Fishes established a scholarship fund to help students majoring in business. Before Rosetta’s death in 1994, she also started a fund to assist families with children in need of speech therapy.
