The Mercile J. Lee Scholars Program (MJLSP) is a four-year tuition scholarship program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison that supports nearly 500 high-achieving undergraduate students. Named in honor of its founder, the late Dr. Mercile J. Lee, MJLSP supports a diverse community of scholars who demonstrate excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service. Through holistic academic support, leadership development, and community engagement, the program prepares scholars to become active citizens, leaders, and changemakers in their fields and communities.
Your gifts to MJLSP provide scholars with the resources and opportunities they need to excel throughout their undergraduate experience. Your support strengthens academic advising, leadership development, experiential learning, and other opportunities that help scholars thrive both in and beyond the classroom.
As MJLSP looks toward the future, continued investment in our scholars remains essential. The changing landscape of higher education and the financial challenges facing students make your support more important than ever. By giving to MJLSP, you help sustain the legacy and vision of Dr. Mercile J. Lee while creating opportunities for the next generation of scholars. Your generosity allows the program to continue evolving, responding to the needs of our scholars, and preparing them to make a meaningful impact at UW–Madison and in communities around the world.
