Student Scholarships
Since 1967, Wisconsin Alumni Association chapters around the world have awarded more than $10 million to more than 5,000 students attending UW–Madison. Scholarship awards vary from $100 to $10,000, and are determined by the individual chapters.
A chapter scholarship is more than just a financial boost. It’s a vote of confidence from past Badgers to the next generation. It’s a way to tell outstanding students from your area, “We’ve got your back! The world needs more Badgers like you!”
Eligibility
The Wisconsin Alumni Chapter Scholarship program provides financial awards to students attending UW–Madison from local chapter regions. No application is required. All students accepted to UW–Madison who are from a designated chapter region are eligible for consideration if they match the specific criteria indicated by the local alumni chapter. The chapter determines the award criteria and whether the award is recurring.
Students who are awarded a scholarship provided by a WAA chapter or group will receive an award notification email from the Wisconsin Scholarship Hub (WiSH). After receiving the award notification, students will be able to see the scholarship as part of their financial aid offer in their MyUW Student Center.
In order to receive the scholarship award funds, recipients must first accept their award and then complete the required post-acceptance materials found in WiSH by the required deadline. Scholarship award funds will be applied directly to a student’s tuition bill.
