Scholarships
I would like to make you aware of the scholarship/recognition awards for
which we are currently accepting applications.
The Chancellor's Award for Excellence, an important recognition, is
intended to acknowledge senior students who possess high academic and
leadership qualities and demonstrate a commitment to the ideals of
excellence and service to others. The recipient must be a senior student as of the submission date of which the last 30 credits were earned at UW Oshkosh, earned a
minimum grade point average of 3.0, and have an anticipated graduation
date of no later than December 2012. The criteria for this award
include academic performance, university related service (excluding
athletics participation) and community involvement. All faculty, staff and
students are encouraged to nominate senior students for this
recognition. Self-nominations will not be accepted.
Two important scholarship awards are also given during spring semester
that recognize students with qualities and accomplishments that are
considered important at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
Students may apply for the Gladys J. Larson Scholarship Award and
