Ramen Ghei Social Justice Scholarship

The Raman J. Ghei Social Justice Scholarship is funded by the generous gifts of Raman J. Ghei. This scholarship may be renewable for multiple years pending available funding. It is awarded to a declared major in the College of Letters & Science with a minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA who also meets all of these criteria:

• Sophomore or junior standing at the Milwaukee campus
• Full-time enrollment
• First generation student (no parent or grandparent graduated from college)
• Demonstrated financial need as shown on the FAFSA
• An interest/commitment to equity, inclusion or social justice as shown through personal statement, and/or evidence of participation in community activities, UWM groups, volunteer work, or other work activities with this focus.

Students who have an up-to-date Panther Scholarship Portal General Application and the College of Letters & Science Scholarships and Awards Application will be considered, typically in spring each year between February and March. No additional or separate application is required; students should thoroughly fill out the Panther Scholarship Portal General Application and the College of Letters & Science Scholarships and Awards Application. Awards given in spring are for the following school year so students graduating that same spring or summer are not eligible. E.G. applications reviewed in Spring 2024 are for Fall 2024; students graduating in May or August 2024 are not eligible.
