40,922 Dollars

498 Gifts

Donations to financial aid scholarships like the Great People Scholarship open the doors of the university to the best and brightest students, regardless of their financial background. These resources expand prominent programs like Bucky’s Tuition Promise and Bucky’s Pell Pathway, which have become critical gateways for our talented students. 

How your gifts make an impact 

Help us usher in the next generation of Badgers by supporting the need-based scholarships that make the journey to college possible for so many. With your support, these students will join you as fellow Badgers and make their mark on our campus and on the world. 

“I cannot thank you enough for supporting other people’s goals and dreams. This is not only money that is going toward my tuition — it is also something that is going to help me with my future career and life path. Thank you for being such kindhearted people. These funds are going to a great cause, and I will be proof of that.”  

— Trevon Abbott ’23, Milwaukee 

Gifts made in support of the Great People Scholarship will be contributed to the Great People Scholarship Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
