Brad (’02) and Gina Palmer Dukes Pay It Forward Annual Scholarship Fund

An annual scholarship established by Brad (’02) and Gina Palmer.

The purpose of this gift is to establish the Palmer Dukes Pay It Forward Scholarship Fund. Dukes Pay It Forward is a call to action for alumni to make gifts that will ensure future generations of students have access to the Madison Experience that was so meaningful to them; and, ultimately, to inspire recipients of Dukes Pay It Forward scholarship awards to give back when they themselves have the means to do so.

To be named a Palmer Dukes Pay It Forward Scholar, recipients must be in good academic standing and demonstrate financial need as determined by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. A cohort of 4 students will be selected for Fall 2022. The scholarship is renewable for three years as long as the recipient continues to meet the criteria and subject to the availability of sufficient funds to support renewals. In any given year, the scholarship amount will be the same for all students who receive the scholarship. Scholarships will be awarded at the discretion of the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships and follow the University’s guidelines for the awarding of scholarships.
