Colleges and programs

Welcome > Our priorities

Each of the university's colleges and schools has needs that exceed funding provided by the state. Alumni support can range from unrestricted school- or college-based programs to specific departmental projects. These funds focus on scholarships, academic programs, technology upgrades, and support for student organizations.

Reasons to give

UWL students, including Alex Gergen (above), say scholarships allow them to spend more time studying and less time focusing on the financial demands of college. Many scholarships are supported through One Day for UWL, the UWL Foundation’s annual fundraiser scheduled for Oct. 18-19.
