Political Science Awards Four Scholarships

The Department of Political Science is pleased to award four scholarships to our Political Science students, thanks to the generosity of our alumnus, Michael C. LeMay and the friends and family of Wilder Crane.

Our 2025 recipients of the Michael C. LeMay Political Science Scholarship are Jakobe Godbolt and Shpresa Ameti, two impressive Political Science majors on their way to doing great things! Each will be awarded $1000 toward their continued studies.

Our 2025 recipients of the Wilder Crane Memorial Scholarship aimed at graduate study are Emma Bulinski, who will be studying law at the University of Illinois Chicago in the fall, and Senjuti Yesmin, a Political Science PhD student here at UWM. They will each be awarded $1000 to enable their continued studies.

Congratulations to all four of these fine students and hearty thanks to our donors for investing in our students. We know they are an excellent bet!
