The Precollege Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence is UW–Madison’s premier college access program. For 25 years, PEOPLE has served thousands of students as they move from eighth grade to college. PEOPLE offers innovative programming to support career exploration and self-management skills while building knowledge through experiential learning. 

Our precollege team advises students, creating pathways to higher education for low-income and first-generation families.  The summer residential program on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus offers students an opportunity to experience college life and build community in their cohorts. 

The College Success Center supports our precollege students who gain admission into UW–Madison through high-touch advising services, unique programming, and other high-impact practices. 

Your gift has the power to profoundly transform the lives of low-income, first-generation students. Gifts from people like you support innovative and high-impact practice programming that nurtures students’ potential to become Wisconsin’s next generation of leaders. With your help, we can continue to offer cutting-edge programming that equips these students with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities needed to excel for the next 25 and beyond.  

Open the door to higher education for all students. Shape a new generation of leaders who will make meaningful contributions in Wisconsin and beyond. Invest in the future. 

Make a gift to PEOPLE today.  

Gifts made in support of the PEOPLE Program will be contributed to PEOPLE Program Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
