Each year the WAA: Mile High Chapter provides financial support for Colorado students studying at UW-Madison. The number of students we can support each year depends on the success of our local fundraising efforts. Please help us continue this valuable student support by giving to our chapter scholarship fund.

I am most looking forward to being able to experience new things and meet new people. I am looking forward to seeing all that Wisconsin has to offer, because it is so different from Colorado. I will also meet tons of new people since I will be from out of state not knowing anyone.

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for choosing me for a scholarship. It means the world to me as I am coming from a low-income family. I have always had to worry about money and with your help I have to worry less! This is a wonderful achievement that I will cherish. Especially since it comes from the Mile High City, my home! I cannot thank you enough for choosing me for this scholarship. I wish I were able to give each of you a hug to show my gratitude, but this letter shall be enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Makenna Schuman
