Nine UW-Milwaukee students were awarded the Patricia H. Weisberg Innovation Scholarship for the 2022-2023 academic year. This $2000 scholarship is distributed by the Weisberg family and the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center.
The recipients of this scholarship exemplify exceptional entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation on- or off-campus in keeping with the goals of the Patricia H. Weisberg Innovation scholarship and the LEC. This scholarship is available to students of any School or College; it is not restricted to the College of Business alone.
Here is what two of the recipients have to say:
“[The Patricia H. Weisberg Scholarship] symbolizes the importance of education, innovation, and creativity in our community, all things that I am passionate about. I care deeply about teaching others … The generations that follow mine are the future and making sure that they grow into excellent thinkers is critical.”
- Mitchell Janezic
“What the Patricia H. Weisberg Scholarship means to me is peace of mind. It means that I can spend more time working on developing my business, and less time worrying about financial responsibilities. Despite the hardships and challenges, it proudly reminds me of the innovative achievements that I’ve accomplished thus far.”
- Shelly Feil
The LEC is grateful for the continued support of the Weisberg family in helping to support UWM students.
