Great People Scholarship
The Great People Scholarship supports the upcoming artists, scholars, educators and scientists who will lead our economy with new ideas and technology. The campaign features a unique University of Wisconsin Foundation match for contributions to student financial aid scholarships, including a dollar for dollar match for gifts that will be granted to talented students campus-wide.
The Great People Scholarship is your opportunity to invest in quality and excellence at the University of Wisconsin-Madison today – and to double the impact of your gift for generations to come.
