About

Scholarships are an excellent way to help reduce the costs of higher education. Similar to grants, they are considered a type of gift aid and are not required to be repaid. At UW-Madison, almost every department, school, and college offers scholarships for students based on academic information, extracurricular activities, and financial aid.

Description

This scholarship was established in honor of Mike Cannell, a Richland County dairy farmer who was an early champion of grass-based dairy farming and a leader in establishing programs and policies to support family farming, rural community revitalization, social justice and sustainable agriculture.

Cannell died in 1996 in a machinery accident while helping a neighbor. The scholarship helps support partial tuition costs to attend the FISC/WSBDF classroom program, or internships on grass-based dairy farms.
