Kathy and Clark Gridley Scholarship

The Kathy and Clark Gridley Scholarship provides a renewable (multi-year) award to high achieving first year students with financial need pursuing a degree from the College of Letters & Science. This scholarship supports Wisconsin resident students with demonstrated community involvement.

Completed applications are evaluated using donor criteria and College of Letters & Science criteria (academic excellence, community service, leadership, diversity, strength of character, and creative accomplishment) and require well written essays. Students who are not current recipients of Letters & Science multi-year scholarships are given priority. Students must be Wisconsin residents in and maintain good standing and full-time enrollment in the College of Letters & Science.

Mr. Clark Gridley established this scholarship in 1996 to provide financial assistance to undergraduate students in the College of Letters & Science.
