Milwaukee Scholarships for College Students?

I'm a high school junior looking into colleges around Milwaukee and was curious about scholarship opportunities specific to that area. Does anyone know of good options, or experiences with any particular scholarships there?

Sure, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has several scholarships specific to that area and even some dedicated to students coming from Milwaukee County. Here are some worth checking out:

1. The Milwaukee County Agricultural Society (MCAS): Each year, the MCAS offers multiple scholarships to Milwaukee County youth who have been active in the community. This scholarship focuses on students who plan to continue their education in agricultural, horticultural, or other related fields.

2. Wisconsin Indian Education Association, Inc. Scholarships: WIEA awards scholarships to American Indian students residing in the state of Wisconsin. Each year, WIEA acknowledges students in grades 11 and 12, as well as undergraduate and graduate-level college students.

3. Herb Kohl Student Excellence Scholarship: This scholarship recognizes Wisconsin high school graduates who have demonstrated academic potential, outstanding leadership, citizenship, community service, and integrity.

4. The Racine Community Foundation: RCF offers a host of scholarships, many of which cater to students in Racine county, which is about 30 miles south of Milwaukee. As a Milwaukee student, you may be eligible for some of these scholarships as well, especially if you're attending a college in Racine.

5. Lastly, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Marquette University, and Milwaukee School of Engineering also offer a plethora of scholarships for in-state and out-of-state students, so be sure to look into those if you're considering those institutions.

Please note that eligibility requirements and deadlines vary for each scholarship. It's also a good idea to start the process early, as many scholarships have deadlines in the fall or early winter. Good luck!
