Scholarsâ?? checks nearly in the mail

Some 1,200 lucky freshmen enrolled at public universities and colleges in Wisconsin this fall will get a pleasant surprise in the mail next month.

Theyâ??ll be the first recipients of scholarships from the Fund for Wisconsin Scholars, a private, nonprofit foundation created by a donation of $175 million from philanthropists John and Tashia Morgridge last year.
