University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (out-of-state)

The Mark of Excellence Scholarship is intended to recruit and retain students enrolled at UW-Eau Claire. This meritorious scholarship is awarded to an incoming freshman who meets high academic standards as judged by the scholarship review committee at point of admission. Candidates should rank in the top 25% of their graduating class (or GPA of 3.5) and have a minimum ACT composite of 25 (SAT total of 1200). In the absence of a test score, students must have a 3.75 cumulative GPA. The scholarship review committee judges candidates on a well-rounded high school record of academic achievement, as well as involvement in school and community activities. Currently enrolled students with a 3.00 GPA are also eligible. This scholarship recognizes students who have challenged themselves academically and achieved excellence. Financial need is not a factor.
