The Wisconsin Experience: The Wisconsin Idea Scholarship

The Wisconsin Idea is the principle that the university should improve peoples’ lives beyond the classroom. This year’s senior class gift is supporting this idea by establishing the Wisconsin Idea Scholarship. The senior class aims to inspire future generations of service-oriented Badgers to live the Wisconsin Idea as students and alumni.

A lasting service-based scholarship designed to attract the nation’s most innovative young leaders to UW–Madison, the Wisconsin Idea Scholarship will provide service-oriented scholarships to prospective student leaders. Furthermore, the Wisconsin Idea Scholarship will inspire thousands of prospective students to discover the Wisconsin Idea and its far-reaching opportunities for undergraduates — all before beginning their own Wisconsin Experience.

At UW–Madison, these service leaders can develop their skills and become effective catalysts for a better world as Badger alumni.
