Lee Holloway technology scholarships
for minority students

This scholarship program is administered by the MMAC on behalf of the Milwaukee County Research Park

The Lee Holloway Scholarships for Students of Color has been made possible by the Milwaukee County Research Park Corporation. The scholarships will be awarded each year to two juniors in a technology field and will continue through their senior year, provided they meet program criteria.  Each student will receive $5,000 a year ($2,500 each semester).
 
The recipient will be chosen by a panel of individuals from the Business Community and Education Personnel. The decision of the panel will be final.
