Clifford H. Mortimer Scholarship

The Clifford H. Mortimer Scholarship provides multiple awards to juniors, seniors, and graduate students in biology or microbiology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The scholarship recognizes academic and scholarly achievements related to research of water, particularly lakes and freshwater (limnology). Named after the late Clifford H. Mortimer, this scholarship supports students pursuing studies in freshwater sciences. Applications are typically accepted in January for the following fall semester. Award amounts vary up to $5,000 per recipient. To apply, undergraduate students must complete the biology undergraduate scholarship application, while graduate students complete the biology graduate student scholarship application through the UW-Milwaukee Panther Scholarship Portal.
