The Middleman Scholarship is awarded annually to a Marquette law student who also fosters interests beyond the law.

WHAT IS IT: A one-time scholarship to be awarded to a Marquette law student, who is original, good-hearted, and who has a good sense of humor. Students who have balanced academics with other life experiences and interests are encouraged to apply. This scholarship was established by a group of alumni to help hard-working students, who have a wide array of interests outside of law school.  

AMOUNT: The scholarship will be between $5,000 to $10,000.

HOW CAN THE MONEY BE USED: Tuition

WHO IS ELIGIBLE: Law students who will have completed a minimum of 27 credits at the completion of the fall 2025 semester. 

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUBMIT: A short essay that includes the following:

• Name
• Address
• Phone number
• A description of your interests outside of law (No need to talk about your legal accomplishments—we already know you're doing great there!)
• Why you should be awarded the scholarship
• Please submit your essay as a PDF.

HOW TO APPLY: Please submit your application by sending your essay to Dean Wilczynski-Vogel by January 5, 2026.
