UWO Community Engagement Scholarship
This scholarship is for students who have been actively engaged in our local community. Being actively engaged comes in many forms: your Quest III course, an upper-level community-based learning course, volunteering through a student organization or other extra-curricular, participating in Alternative Breaks, or volunteering on your own. We are looking for a student who is excited about what they do and willing to share their story. Applicant must be currently enrolled in at least six credits as an undergraduate student at the Oshkosh campus and must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. This award will be paid out in Spring 2024.
Recipients will be required to share their community engagement story with the Center for Civic and Community Engagement. The story will be recorded for use on social media, websites, and/or virtual newsletters. Recipients may be asked to share their story with UWO alumni, the Chancellor, or at other selected events.
For information about the award, please contact Mike Lueder at luederm@uwosh.edu.
