SoHE Career & Leadership Development

The SoHE Career & Leadership Development Scholarship may be used to support travel to conferences or other career and/or leadership development training opportunities, programs, and events that help build career readiness skills and complement the curriculum to further prepare students for their careers post-graduation.

Current School of Human Ecology students may apply for up to $500, to support actual costs associated with participating in an activity. However, students should only request the amount needed to cover costs, and may not exceed the cost of attending.

Scholarships are available year-round. However, applications should be submitted through the Wisconsin Scholarship Hub (WiSH) site at least four (4) weeks in advance of an opportunity, to allow time for the request to be reviewed and process prior to departure. This scholarship may not be used to fund student internships.
