Donations to financial aid scholarships such as the Great People Annual Scholarship help open the doors of the university to the best and brightest students. These resources help expand some of the UW’s most prominent, highest-impact financial aid initiatives, including Bucky’s Tuition Promise, Bucky’s Pell Pathway, and BANNER. These critical programs make the journey to college possible for countless talented students who would otherwise be unable to attend the university due to financial obstacles.
Your support of need-based scholarships will help today’s Badgers make their mark on campus and bring the Wisconsin Idea with them wherever their future may take them. Thank you for helping to usher in our next generation of leaders with your generosity!

“I am forever grateful for the opportunity to attend UW–Madison! None of this would be possible without the generosity of donors like you, who are helping to make my dreams come true. As a first-generation college student, I cannot thank you enough for the kind of support that these funds have provided for me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you!”
