Outstanding Student Awards

Each year, the Wisconsin Alumni Association® (WAA) awards scholarships to outstanding junior and senior students attending UW-Madison. Two senior men and two senior women will be awarded life memberships in the Wisconsin Alumni Association in addition to a $250 award in recognition of their achievements at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and contributions to the campus community.

In addition, between five and seven (number of scholarships varies) junior candidates are awarded cash scholarships based on academic excellence, overall achievement and contributions to the campus community.
