UW-Madison College of Letters and Science Awards First-Year Student Scholarships

The College of Letters and Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison awarded scholarships and prizes to 63 incoming first-year students in May.

First-year L&S scholarships are highly competitive, and only four to five percent of the applicant pool typically receives an award.
