Why We Need Your Support
UW–Madison’s Wisconsin Tribal Educational Promise Program is a commitment to Wisconsin residents who are enrolled members of the 11 federally recognized Wisconsin American Indian tribes. This monumental new initiative, unveiled in December 2023 by Chancellor Mnookin in consultation with the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council, meets the full in-state cost of attendance for Wisconsin Native Nations students pursuing their first undergraduate degree.
Scholarship support from compassionate alumni and friends of the UW is a critical component of this program. Please consider making a gift to the Wisconsin Tribal Educational Promise Program to help Wisconsin Native Nations students continue to make a difference on campus for years to come.
“I am so proud, as a Native American, to receive the Wisconsin Tribal Educational Promise funds. This gift allowed me to return to school after 24 years away to finish my undergraduate degree. I hope other Wisconsin Tribal members take advantage of this opportunity. Thank you, UW–Madison!”
