Teacher Education Program

What We're Fundraising For

Teacher candidates in Education Studies and Special Education are preparing to support and inspire the next generation of learners. As part of their path to licensure, candidates must also complete costly standardized exams, an additional and often significant expense on the journey to becoming a teacher. We are seeking support to help reduce the cost of these exams for our students who have financial constraints.

Your Impact

Your support helps reduce the financial barrier by reducing the out-of-pocket cost of required licensure exams for our future teachers. A contribution directly supports future educators as they complete the final step toward entering the profession and making a difference in the lives of students.

Matching Gift Opportunity

Thanks to a generous gift from Scott Janke '14, donations made to the Teacher Education Program will be matched dollar-for-dollar until we reach $1,000! Thank you for supporting our future educators!

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! The match is co-sponsored by Steve Bateman and Mark Hagen. 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! Steve is a 1980 Accounting grad and credits much of his UWEC experience in helping launch his professional career. Mark Hagen is a 1979 Business Administration and Information Systems grad who spent the majority of his career working for Cargill, Inc. They are happy to co-sponsor this Giving Tuesday match and encourage other Blugolds to give back!!
