More than $30K awarded in Natural and Applied Science scholarships

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay honored the best-of-the-best Natural and Applied Sciences students at an annual scholarship reception on Jan. 30. in the University Union’s 1965 Room. Twenty-five students were awarded $31,150 in scholarships, nearly double last year’s total of $15,200.

The scholarships recognized student achievement in academics, research, scholarship, and overall excellence. Several new scholarships were introduced this year, including the Todd and Julie Bartels Scholarship, the Chad Moritz and Beth Meyerand Scholarship, and the Faith Technologies, Inc. Scholarship for Engineering Technology.

Next year, Natural and Applied Sciences will introduce five new scholarships, and anticipate awarding at least 30 scholarships totaling over $35,000 thanks to generous scholarship donors.
