Leah Fetter Merit Scholarship
This scholarship is awarded in the name of Leah Fetter, a bright and dedicated former student in French at UWM. The scholarship is awarded based on academic achievement and demonstrated financial need to a French major who is going to participate in one of UWM’s study-abroad or exchange programs in a French-speaking country. Applicants must be full-time and have FAFSA information showing financial need to be eligible.
When funds are available, applications are typically accepted in February for study abroad in summer or fall and will include a brief essay on the planned study abroad. Students must also meet the March 1 deadline to apply for study abroad through the UWM Center for International Education.
NOTE: This scholarship is for Milwaukee-campus students planning to study at a program outside of Milwaukee and outside of the United States. This is not for international students coming to the Milwaukee campus to study.
