PLATTEVILLE- With continued support from UWP alumni and friends, the University of Wisconsin-Platteville Community Scholarship Program has generated $18,200 worth of scholarships to be awarded to high school seniors planning to attend UWP this fall.

The UW-Platteville CSP will be awarding 75 scholarships to students this spring. These scholarships will be between $100 and $500. Four students currently attending UWP received UW-Platteville CSP scholarships last spring when they were high school seniors.

The UWP Foundation designed the UW-Platteville CSP to focus UWP alumni and friend support to the high school of their choice. With this gift, donors allow the UWP Foundation to grant scholarships to graduating high school seniors that are accepted to UWP from high schools in the tri-state area. To promote the UW-Platteville CSP, the UWP Foundation will be holding a phonathon in the spring, starting in early February. Their goal is to raise enough money to provide more scholarships, hopefully in higher amounts, to high school seniors accepted into UWP during the 2009-2010 academic school year. For more information about the UW-Platteville CSP, or to contribute, contact Gina Udelhofen, UWP Foundation, at (608) 342-1968 or udelhofg@uwplatt.edu.
