John E. Kelley STAR Scholarship - UW Madison

John E. Kelley was a proud father, son, fiancé, brother, and friend. His open heart and kind soul attracted everyone. His infectious smile and laugh could light up even the darkest of rooms. He loved his family, his friends, golfing, cooking, and cold Miller Lite on the beach. John also had a love for teaching and mentoring others. He was a gifted leader and used his talents to build-up the people around him.

In that same spirit, the Kelley family is excited to announce the "John E. Kelley STAR Scholarship" at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Engineering. The STAR program aims to increase diversity in STEM programs. We are raising money to build the endowment that will provide scholarships for UW mechanical engineering students every year, forever! All donations will be sent directly to the UW Foundation to be added to the John E. Kelley STAR Scholarship fund pool.
