UWM John Clarence De Cleene Award
The John Clarence De Cleene Award is a scholarship designed to support both undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who are committed to enhancing gender diversity and pursuing research in fields related to sexual diversity, political science, or government programs. This scholarship is especially geared towards students from underrepresented groups within the Department of Gender and Women's Studies, with a preference given to those who are interested in careers in federal or state government.
The award provides financial assistance to students who demonstrate academic excellence, a strong commitment to their field of study, and a clear plan for using their education to contribute to societal change. Applicants are required to submit an essay detailing their research interests and career goals, particularly how they plan to advance gender diversity or engage with LGBTQ+ issues through their work.
Recipients of the John Clarence De Cleene Award are selected based on the strength of their application materials, including their essay, resume, and academic transcripts. The scholarship is intended to support students' educational journeys and empower them to make meaningful contributions to their fields.
