Fund for Wisconsin Scholars

The Fund for Wisconsin Scholars Program (FFWS) was designed by a private foundation established in 2007 by John & Tashia Morgridge to provide need based grants to graduates of Wisconsin public high schools attending a public university in Wisconsin. Randomly selected awardees are first-year students who demonstrate a financial gap in funding to cover tuition costs determined by their Expected Family Contribution through FAFSA. In addition to scholarship support, students are supported by a team of peer mentors and a success coach to help them navigate their college experience.
