Students can now apply for Madison College Foundation scholarships for the Fall 2025 semester. Deadline to apply is April 30, 2025. Applications can be found on the Foundation’s website.  

Eligibility 

To be eligible for a Madison College Foundation scholarship, you must: 

• Be a Wisconsin resident.
• Be accepted into a program.
• Have a 2.0 cumulative GPA or higher.
• Be enrolled in six or more credits for the Fall 2025 semester.

Tips for applying 

The Madison College Foundation offers the following tips for students who complete the scholarship application: 

• Complete the application fully. Treat the application like an exam, for each area you leave blank, points may be deducted. 

• Use your responses to the essay questions to share your personal story and show the reviewer that you are a “good investment.” Scholarships are funded by individuals and local companies who are looking to invest in your success and in the future of our community. The application is your opportunity to share your educational and career plans with the reviewer and make the case why you deserve the scholarship award more so than the next applicant. 

• Pay attention to grammar and spelling. Type your essays in a word document first to help you identify grammar and spelling errors. Visit the Writing Center or review your application with an instructor, friend or family member. 

• Don’t wait until the last day to apply. Students often encounter technical or personal issues that prevent them from submitting the application on time which results in disqualification.
