The Friends and Alumni Association of UWW, Inc., represents the collaboration of alumni, faculty, staff and area businesses and organizations to recognize students' achievements. This group sponsors scholarships each year for students who attend the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha. The scholarship program gives encouragement and financial assistance to promising students. Continuing students may be awarded scholarships if they have completed 12 or more credits, and have a 2.25 grade point average or higher. Selection is based upon academic and nonacademic achievement and other criteria set by the scholarship donors.
Scholarship involves more than just good grades.
Leadership, initiative, critical thinking, maturity, and potential to contribute to society are all important factors which are better demonstrated in the essay portion and letters of recommendation. If you plan to attend UW-Waukesha and you believe you merit consideration for a scholarship, please complete and submit the application by March 16, 2001. Applications are available from the UW-Waukesha Student Services Office and high school guidance offices early in December. Two letters of recommendation by non-relatives are required. At least one letter must be from a teacher or professor.
