Mukwonago Wrestling Club Scholarship Program
The Mukwonago Wrestling Club established this monetary scholarship program to emphasize the importance of further education as a key to success. We believe that the sport of wrestling instills a work ethic in our wrestlers that they apply both on and off the mat. This work ethic when applied to education will benefit our wrestlers to reach their potential. We have established qualifications that are meant to show the commitment these wrestlers have had to both the club and the sport of wrestling. The wrestling club’s goal is to encourage students to seek education in fields of interest whether in the form of a 2 or 4-year college, apprenticeship, US Military branch of service, or short-term training resulting in certification.
