Foundation Scholarships

Greenhill, Hannah

1 @ $1,500

New award available for 2013-2014

The Hannah M. Greenhill Scholarship is to be awarded to a freshman student at UW-Eau Claire who must be a graduate of a high school in either Barron or Dunn counties and must have financial need. Candidates must have a minimum of a 25 composite on the ACT (or comparable SAT) AND rank in the top 25% of their graduating class (or GPA of 3.5) to be eligible. If a traditional student from Barron or Dunn County is not available to receive a scholarship, consideration may be given to a transfer student from the Barron County two-year campus who has maintained a B+ grade point average and has financial need. The Greenhill scholarship is renewable up to three years for the recipient selected as a freshman provided the student maintains a B+ grade point average. Only one student a year will receive the scholarship, so if a student is renewed for the scholarship in the sophomore, junior and senior years, no new recipient will be selected during these years.

To be considered for Incoming Freshman Student Admissions Scholarships, just submit the application for admission. There is no separate application to apply, though demonstration of financial need is required for certain merit-based scholarships. Your application for admission will be considered for all scholarships for which you are eligible. If you have questions, please contact the Admissions Office at (715)836-5415.

The Admissions Office will coordinate the selection process, which is highly competitive. The process is based off of the student’s admissions profile including: transcripts, academic history, list of involvements and essays. These are among the criteria that will be reviewed for scholarship purposes.

Screening of candidates will begin in December for some early awards and continue through the spring or until awards are accepted.

Scholarship award notices will be sent to scholarship recipients by the beginning of April of student’s senior year. If scholarships are declined, they will be re- awarded to alternates through the summer months. The Office of Admissions will notify the scholarship recipient (and their high school counselors once an award is accepted.)

The recipient must send a thank-you note to Hannah and Gaylon Greenhill in care of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation Office, Schofield Hall 214.
