AB NICHOLAS SCHOLARSHIP

Each year up to 60 scholarships will be awarded — $10,000 for a student in a 4-year program and $5,000 for a student in a 2-year program. By maintaining a cumulative grade point average greater than 2.0, scholarships can be renewed annually for the length of the program, for a total award of $40,000 or $10,000, respectively.

The scholarship is open to any Wisconsin high school senior participating in his or her high school basketball program as either a player or manager who plans on applying to a UW System school.
