O.K. Johnson, Jr. Scholarship

The OK Johnson Jr. Law School Scholarship is made possible by the generosity of OK Johnson, Jr., a 1955 graduate of the University of Wisconsin Law School. Through his scholarship, Mr. Johnson wished to celebrate experiences that go beyond the standard academic curriculum and contribute to the development of the individual’s personality and character. He believed law school should be enjoyable, and that students should participate in the myriad of social activities and civic and volunteer groups on campus.
