2020 Scholarship Reception Booklet

Scholarship Award Process: The Stout University Foundation sponsors scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students. Scholarships are financed by the contributions of alumni, friends, parents, faculty, campus organizations, other Stout staff, foundations, and corporations. To establish a permanent scholarship through bequests or special gifts, contact the Foundation office. All gifts given to the Stout University Foundation are tax deductible. The determination of receiving a scholarship is based on several factors. The factors which are considered include academic performance, letter of recommendation, professional and extracurricular activities, community involvement, written statements, spelling, grammar, and punctuation in the completing of the application and, in many cases, financial need. The scholarship application deadline for 2021-2022 academic year is February 1, 2021. The Stout University Foundation Scholarship Committee reviews applications with the award letters being sent by mid-April. Recipients are required to write a thank you letter of appreciation to the scholarship donors and attend a formal award ceremony in September before payment is made for tuition.

Scholarship information and the application can be found at www.uwstout.edu/foundation/scholarships.
