Scholarship Programs

Allan H. Selig Scholarship Program

The Allan H. Selig Scholarship Program was created in the name of former Brewers President and Commissioner Emeritus of Baseball Allan H. (Bud) Selig. Funding for the scholarships is the result of proceeds donated by Major League Baseball, from the All-Star Workout Day, part of the 2002 All-Star festivities held in Milwaukee. Commissioner Selig has deep ties to Milwaukee and Wisconsin and he has also had a long-term commitment to educational excellence.

Applicants must be graduating seniors from a Wisconsin High School Class of 2024 and accepted to a college or university based in the State of Wisconsin. Selected candidates will receive $2,500, annually, renewable each year for a total of $10,000 over four years.

James Beckum - Player/Coach Scholarship Program

The James Beckum - Player/Coach Scholarship Program is made possible thanks to Milwaukee Brewers players and coaches’ commitment to educational opportunities for youth and was named after James Beckum, who played for two years on the St. Louis Giants, a Negro League team, and co-founded the Beckum-Stapleton Little League, one of the first organized sports in the city of Milwaukee.

This scholarship is a one-year award that varies in amount from season to season for students who plan to attend or are currently attending a college and university in Wisconsin. Generally, scholarship awards have been between $1,000 and $2,500.

As a recipient of one of our scholarships, you will need to:

• Complete at least 12 credits each semester.
• Maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.8 or higher.
• Agree to be present at a pre-game introduction ceremony for scholarship awardees at the ballpark on a date and time to be determined.
