The King-Morgridge Scholars Program is a four-year, full-tuition scholarship for enterprising, creative, dedicated students committed to applying their talents toward poverty alleviation around the globe. Selected for their drive, academic success, and commitment to addressing problems of poverty in their own countries, King-Morgridge Scholars join us from countries in Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Scholars receive a full time, four-year/eight-semester scholarship to the University of Wisconsin–Madison that includes tuition and fees, on campus room and board, health insurance, airfare, and a stipend for miscellaneous expenses. Made possible through generous gifts by the King and Morgridge families, this scholarship provides six scholarships per year.
The application deadline for the 2025-2026 academic year has now passed. If applicants have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly. Thank you!
