<p>I've been trying for close to a year to get information and an application for my now sr D2. I have sent emails and left multiple phone messages at the contacts given on the UWisconsin Scholars Program website, I even talked to an actual person once who said they'd send materials, still nothing.</p>
<p>Does anyone here have advice about how to get a hold of whoever is in charge of the Chancellor's program? Any help would be appreciated!</p>

<p>Perhaps this is the contact information you have already tried to use. I have noticed that this website (link posted above) has out of date info since the Business Scholars program was discontinued in 2009 due to budget cutbacks, but is still listed at this link.</p>
<p>^^^Yes, that’s the email and phone I’ve been trying. Thanks for the info about it possibly being out of date. I know that 4 years ago they had a much more detailed description of the Chancellor’s and Powers-Knapp scholarships and now this was all I could find. I’ll re-search the UWiscosin website and start making calls to Admissions, Honors, etc. if necessary.</p>
<p>Here’s another link to Chancellor’s Scholarship information with a different email address;</p>

<p>Thanks for the info, I finally did get in touch with a real person in the Chancellor’s office and they’re sending the application & information soon. </p>
<p>According to my old notes, the Chancellor’s was for full tuition and a small book stipend for OOS students. Now it appears that it’s for IS tuition plus $400. That’s disappointing from the financial POV, but Wisconsin still has a lot going for it academically, socially, location, etc. so I guess we’ll have to take a look at the application when it comes and see what it requires and try to determine if D2 is within range of being a competitive candidate for the scholarship.</p>
<p>Good luck, honestly, on the chances for the scholarship, but even if your D is underrepresented and/or culturally disadvantaged, UW-Madison has really tightened the screws on scholarships, especially OOS. If she’s accepted–not an easy task–best to plan on paying full fare. </p>
<p>Not what a lot of folks like to hear, but times are tough, even for world-class universities.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice jnm. I’ve been around for a while :rolleyes: so I don’t have many illusions when it comes to admissions and merit aid.</p>
<p>Wow, what a saga, which I hope has finally ended. I’m updating this to help others who may be trying to get information about the Chancellors & Powers-Knapp scholarships.</p>
<p>I only got recordings at the numbers for the Chancellor’s scholarship listed above, so I called Admissions and was transferred to an actual person in the Chancellor’s office who took my information and said they’d send out the information and application. They said they’d hopefully get it out that week, that was almost a month ago.</p>
<p>So I tried calling the numbers again last week and today, only got recordings, and again moved on to Admissions. They transferred me to the main Chancellor’s office (608-262-8967), explained my situation, and had me talk to Dominic who is the Student Services Coordinator. He seemed to know about the program and said that the usual person dealing with the scholarship was out with health problems, thus the delay. </p>
<p>Current information about the scholarship:</p>
<p>Chancellor’s is worth full tuition for either IS or OOS students; about 50 are given
Powers-Knapp is worth the difference between IN and OOS tuition for OOS students (sorry, I didn’t ask about IS); about 60 are given.</p>
<p>Application deadline is Feb 1.
Notification is the end of March/early April.</p>
<p>end of March/early April? another month of waiting… heavy sigh…</p>
