University Scholarships

Who We Are

Each year, UWEC awards over $3 million in scholarships. Awards can range from $150 to more than $8,000 per year. Blugolds have a brighter future when their education is more accessible and affordable. Each year, generous donors provide funds for student scholarships and other direct student support through the Foundation.

What We're Fundraising For

Every student deserves the opportunity to reach their potential, no matter their major, background, or personal journey. Scholarships empower students from every corner of campus, scientists and musicians, future teachers and nurses, athletes and artists, connecting them to the resources they need to succeed. Scholarships don’t just lighten the financial load; they open doors to experiences, connections, and opportunities that shape students’ lives in and beyond college.

Your Impact

With your support, we can create more scholarships for more students, helping them worry less about finances and focus more on the experiences and education that will shape their future. When you give, you’re helping make higher education a real possibility for Blugolds from all walks of life. 

Every gift makes a difference: it reduces financial stress, supports students through the journey to their degree, and sometimes even determines whether a student can attend college at all. For many, a scholarship is the golden ticket to the Blugold experience they’ve dreamed of but weren’t sure they could afford.

Fill the Map Challenge - $6,000 match!
Our Blugold impact spans across borders! Last year, we got a gift from ALL 50 STATES on Giving Day and we are aiming to do it again! They've pledged to match the first $100 donated from each state! To sweeten the deal, if we receive contributions from every single state, they will contribute an extra $1,000 to support UW-Eau Claire students! Help us make this a nationwide success!
Event
Student Org Food Drive Challenge
Alum Eric Wan is challenging students to get involved on Giving Day by participating in an on-campus food drive for the Campus Harvest Food Pantry. Student organizations can take part by dropping off food donations at the pantry, and the organization with the highest total will win a pizza party. In addition, for every item donated, Eric will contribute $1 to the Campus Harvest Food Pantry. Help ensure no Blugolds go hungry!
