Greater Milwaukee Foundation Jackie Mussfeldt Scholarship

The Greater Milwaukee Foundation Jackie Mussfeldt Scholarship is awarded to select undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who meet specific criteria. The scholarship is designed for full-time students from Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan who demonstrate financial need and maintain good academic standing. A key requirement is active participation in the activities of the Electa Quinney Institute (EQI) for American Indian Education. A distinctive feature of this scholarship is its preference for students who demonstrate motivation, perseverance, and a strong work ethic in their academic coursework, even if they do not necessarily achieve excellent grades. This approach recognizes the dedication and effort students put forth in their educational journey. The scholarship varies in amount, with an anticipated total of $8,000 over the full term of the award. Applicants are required to submit supplemental responses discussing their work ethic, academic efforts, and involvement with the Electa Quinney Institute for American Indian Education.
