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
  • 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.

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 2025 are for Fall 2025; students graduating in May or August 2025 are not eligible.
