Pathway Community
For students admitted to the Bucky’s Pell Pathway and BANNER scholarship programs, the Pathway Theme Community builds community and relationships, including co-curricular support to help you succeed.
Pathway is located on one floor in Chadbourne Residence Hall within one of our learning communities, the Chadbourne Residential College. The community is offered in collaboration with the UW-Madison Office of Student Financial Aid and the Bucky’s Pell Pathway and BANNER scholarship programs.
