About the Scholarship

Through the generosity of the Bahow Family, Saint Paul’s is pleased to offer the Elie A. MEKA Bahow Family Scholarship (open to current UW-Madison students) to support their formation in academic excellence in addition to providing opportunities to form their spiritual lives.

Saint Paul’s will award two scholarships of $1,000 each, applicable toward UW-Madison tuition for the 2023-2024 academic year. The winners will be chosen by an impartial panel of judges. The decision will primarily be based off of the involvement in leadership roles on campus and/or the larger community with consideration of the quality (coherence, focus, clarity, etc.) of the essay that is submitted, as well as undergraduate GPA.
