Each year, we award two scholarships to deserving students from Polk County who attend UW-Madison. All funds collected for the Polk County Scholarship Fund, up to $8,000, will be matched by the UW Foundation. Two scholarships will be given out each year, one to a 1st year student and one to a 2nd year student.
Each scholarship inquires about the student’s classes, grades, courses of study, and future plans after graduation along with a creative section where we simply asked the applicants to tell “Their UW Story.” It was fun to see the variety of responses that we received in 2007 – tales of people’s adventures on campus, the trials and tribulations of adjusting from rural life to a more urban setting, and details of their experiences with roommates and classes.
