Your gift makes a real difference in our students' lives. Your generosity affords promising, hard-working students with opportunities to fulfill their educational goals and make their own mark on the world. You can trace everything good that happens at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire to the people who care enough to invest themselves and their resources in our students, our faculty and staff, and the community. The generosity of donors impacts the lives of every student. Here are some of the ways the generosity of donors impacts the lives of every student:

• Scholarships and fellowships
• Financial assistance during emergency situations
• Recruitment of outstanding faculty
• Facility upgrades and renovations to meet changing needs
• Purchase of classroom and lab equipment
• Resources not covered by tuition or state funding

More than $2.4 million awarded each year in merit and non-need-based scholarships

Your generosity benefits the people, places and programs of UW-Eau Claire, helping students reach their potential and ease the financial burden of higher education. Gifts to UW-Eau Claire Foundation give the university the flexibility to seize new opportunities and manage the most pressing and immediate needs. You can also designate your gift to any area or purpose that inspires your philanthropic spirit - scholarships, library resources, athletics and service projects, to name just a few.
