The Madison Chapter and Wisconsin Chapter fund a scholarship each year for an enrolled Penn State student whose primary residence is located in Wisconsin.

This scholarship is based wholly on merit and is open to Penn State undergraduate students (second semester or higher) from the state of Wisconsin and who have a cumulative GPA of 3.0. Students can attend any Penn State campus, including World Campus. In 2020, the scholarship awarded was over $900.

Here is the general application process (subject to change based on direction from Penn State).

1. Mid-May: Penn State releases the list of eligible students to our Chapters
2. Late May: The Chapters will send an application to the listed email address for all eligible students.*
3. Late June: Applications are due back to the Chapters
4. July: The Chapters' scholarship committee reviews the applications and nominates several candidates to be awarded a scholarship from the Chapter. The Chapter sends the nominations to the Penn State Office of Student Aid. 
5. Early August: The Penn State Office of Student Aid confirms eligibility of the nominated candidates, selects the scholarship winner, and notifies the Chapters. The Chapters notify the scholarship winner(s). 

If you are awarded a scholarship funded by the Chapters, we ask for your permission to highlight your name, hometown, and major on this page!

*If you believe you are an eligible student and do not receive an email from us by sometime in June, please send us an email.
