Ways to Give
Scholarships
Scholarships can provide a long-term benefit to students by reducing their overall student debt load and validating merit when applying for internships, jobs and graduate school.
Endowed and general scholarships support Warhawks in all walks of life. At UW-Whitewater, there are hundreds of existing scholarship funds supporting student success.
Donate to an Existing Scholarship
UW-Whitewater students have benefited for generations thanks to the philanthropic leadership and support of generous alumni, emeriti and friends.

- Honor cherished professors, faculty and staff
- Support veterans, returning adults and students from all paths
- Assist students from specific hometown areas
- Award students in an array of academic fields
- Help first-generation students with a donation to a college’s Promise Endowment
- And more! Our staff is continuously overwhelmed by the generosity we see given to UW-Whitewater by our alumni, staff, friends and business partners.
