Giving Day Challenge Dukes Pay It Forward Scholarship Fund

An annual scholarship established by Frank T. “Buddy” (‘93) and Kathy Gadams.

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 awarded a Giving Day Challenge Dukes Pay It Forward scholarship, recipients must be in good academic standing and demonstrate financial need as determined by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. The scholarship may be renewed for up to three additional years as long as the student continues to meet the criteria, subject to the availability of sufficient funds to support renewals. 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.

**The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships has the discretion to determine the number and amount of awards each year.
