Greater Milwaukee Foundation Mary Jo Read Undergraduate Scholarship
The Mary Jo Read Geography Fund, with estimated assets of more than $1 million, will benefit students in the Department of Geography by providing scholarships, fellowships, and merit awards to students who demonstrate academic excellence in the field. Specifically, the fund earmarks this scholarship for juniors and seniors with a declared major in Geography at UWM.
Criteria for this scholarship include:
- A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0
- Junior or Senior standing by August 31, 2025
- Full-time enrollment
- Financial need may be considered but is not required
Applications are typically accepted in Spring semester. Awards given in spring are for the following school year so students graduating that same spring or summer are not eligible.
