Lubar 25
The Lubar College of Business Lubar 25 program is a recognition program that aims to honor undergraduate business students who have demonstrated excellence in academics, entrepreneurship, leadership, and campus and/or community service.

All application materials must be submitted by the deadline for consideration by the selection committee.
Tommy G. Thompson Leadership Scholarship
The Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership offers scholarships to undergraduate students at each of the University of Wisconsin System's four-year campuses. Scholarships are intended for undergraduates who have shown public leadership in their lives in a way that reflects the general legacy of Governor Tommy G. Thompson. Governor Thompson was a broad thinker who offered common-sense solutions to tackle big problems through teamwork and an unending zeal to make our state a better place. The Center seeks high-quality applicants who reflect Tommy's spirit, have demonstrated leadership during their time in college and will continue to lead in the future. UWM conducts an initial review of candidate applications and nominates three applicants as finalists to a Thompson Center Review Board. That Review Board, composed of the full Faculty Advisory Committee or its designated subcommittee, forwards its recommendations to the Center's Public Leadership Board for final approval. The Center selects one scholarship recipient from each of the thirteen four-year University of Wisconsin System campuses. Applicants must be enrolled as full-time degree-seeking students at a four-year University of Wisconsin System campus, be in good academic standing, have a cumulative undergraduate GPA (first-year students without a cumulative GPA are ineligible), and must not have received this scholarship previously. The scholarships are one-time, non-renewable, and non-transferable. Recipients must agree to attend one Thompson Center event during the year of scholarship.
Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program (McNair Scholars Program)
The McNair Scholars Program is a federal TRIO grant funded by the United States Congress and facilitated by the U.S. Department of Education, designed to prepare undergraduate participants for doctoral studies through involvement in research, professional development, and scholarly activities. The program carries the mission of increasing the representation of first-generation, low-income, and racial/ethnic minority students within graduate education and the PhD. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has received grant funding since 1991 as one of the first 14 institutions awarded the McNair grant. Participation begins in the Spring semester prior to graduation with flexible lunch and learn workshops focusing on research building skills. Participants engage with all programming each term from admission until receipt of the bachelor's degree. Summer programming entails a full-time research internship lasting 10 weeks. Participants who complete the summer component and fulfill program requirements receive a summer stipend, graduate school application fee waivers, and a reduction in the cost of the GRE. Applicants must be enrolled full-time in the undergraduate division at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and meet minimum eligibility criteria. Submissions are reviewed by a committee and admission is provided to no more than 15 students per cohort. After summer programming, participants engage in regular meetings with McNair staff on their progress towards graduate program application and Fall/Spring McNair programming.
