John W. Jung Memorial Scholarship

John W. Jung Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship was created in honor of John W. Jung, class of 2001. John conceived and helped coordinate the now annual All-Campus Party (ACP), a weeklong celebration of UW-Madison that provides substance-free entertainment intended for tens of thousands of students, faculty and community members each year. Despite his dynamic leadership, ability to excel in and outside of school, and his commitment to serving others, John struggled with an ongoing battle against substance abuse and addiction. This memorial scholarship seeks to recognize students who exemplify John's traits of leadership, excellence, and service, all in pursuit of upholding the Wisconsin Idea. The recipient will be recognized at the end of ACP week at Lake Street Bash on Friday, April 25th!

A huge congratulations to 2025’s recipient of the JWJ Memorial Scholarship: Abigail Tuinstra!

A Statement from Abigail:

“My name is Abigail Tuinstra, and I’m a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, majoring in Interior Architecture through the School of Human Ecology (SoHE). I’m actively involved in the Interior Design organization and the Wisconsin Black Student Union. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have two part-time jobs outside of school: one as a retail employee and the other as a daycare assistant teacher.

During my free time, I enjoy working out and engaging in outdoor activities. I also serve as the volunteer head coach for the East Madison Little League Softball team, which consists of 14-year-olds. Furthermore, through my scholarship program and mentorship program at Madison East High School, I mentor high school students and a promising freshman as part of the Mercile J Lee Scholarship program, which I am also a part of.

Volunteering is a significant part of my life, and I dedicate a considerable amount of my time to serving the Madison community. .”
