Welcome
In 1996, John and Patty Noel established the Noel Compass Scholar Program, a full ride scholarship created to give proactive high school minority students an opportunity to gain a valuable education and work experience in Stevens Point, WI.
The scholarship focuses on five “ships:” Scholarship, Internship, Mentorship, Fellowship and Leadership. Each of these “ships” is designed to help each Compass Scholar through their journey at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and help them adapt in their new environment.
Funded by Noel Family Foundation, students selected to the Noel Compass Scholarship will receive valuable work experience that many college students do not receive during their tenure at UWSP.
