Gerald Konz Scholarship

The Gerald Konz Scholarship provides funding to an undergraduate from the state of Wisconsin who is majoring in Economics. Student should be enrolled as a full-time student, demonstrate financial need, be able to verify ongoing employment, and earn a cumulative GPA in the upper half of their class. The award can be renewed at the discretion of the Department of Economics.

Gerald Konz (BS Economics ’57) created this scholarship to make a positive impact in the lives of future economists. He retired from S.C. Johnson in 1999 after a successful career spanning 39 years.

Student financial aid packages can be impacted by scholarship awards. It is recommended that students contact UW’s Office of Student Financial Aid to learn about impact on current aid packages.
