Motor City Badgers Student Support

One of the Motor City Badgers' key activities is to support students attending UW-Madison from SE Michigan. This starts with getting high school students interested in UW when they attend local College Fairs. Alumni volunteers from our chapter represent the University at these events. Since we cover a half dozen or more fairs during the College Fair season, help is always needed! Please contact Bart Heldke to help out at a Spring or Fall college fair.

Upcoming Fairs:

April 16, 2008, Ann Arbor Pioneer HS
April 17, 2008 Detroit NACAC Burton Manor, Livonia, MI

We are taking reservations for assistance at these fairs. An alumni recruiting leader will have the information for the fair. Volunteers will be contacted prior to the fair on when to arrive and what they possibly will be doing--handing out literature, answering questions, etc.

We also raise funds for scholarships to award to local students attending our alma mater, as detailed below. Your contributions may make the difference in a local student being able to attend UW! Contact Bruce Pierce for additional info on Scholarships.

The Edward O. Adams Scholarship is the Motor City chapter's highest honor, and is named for one of the chapter's most outstanding leaders. Qualifications for the scholarship include extraordinary academics and well-rounded breadth of involvement.

Elizabeth Richards is the recipient for the 2007-08 school year. She is a senior majoring in Industrial & Systems Engineering at the UW-Madison College of Engineering.

Please give to the Motor City Badgers Chapter Scholarship Fund. We use your donations to give scholarships each year to deserving local students attending UW-Madison. Your donation actually doubles in value, since all funds collected (up to $8,000 annually) are matched by the UW Foundation. Donations may also be tax deductible if you donate through the UW Foundation using this On-line Scholarship Donation Form (Select "Detroit MI Fund" in pull-down). Thanks for your support!

The Motor City Badgers are pleased to accept applications for chapter scholarships for the 2007-08 school year. Scholarships are open to all full-time UW-Madison students from the Southeast Michigan area. The only exception is students receiving any Athletic Dept. scholarship funds, per NCAA policy.

Last year, the chapter awarded six scholarships of $2,000 apiece to deserving students. We expect to be able to award a comparable amount this year. Applicants are scored on various criteria including scholastic performance, involvement in extra-curricular and community service activities, financial need, and other factors.

Students who wish to apply should download this Application Form, enter the requested data, save a copy in your name, and submit to MCB Scholarship Chair Bruce Pierce.
Applications must be submitted by June 1, 2007!
Any applications received after this deadline will not be considered. Winners should be notified by mid-July. Good luck!
