How do I create a Great People named scholarship?

The Great People Scholarship offers an excellent opportunity to honor friends, family and faculty. Named endowment funds allow you to ensure scholarships for students in perpetuity – and commemorate the important people in your life for generations to come.

Named endowments can be established by individuals and groups who give a total of $25,000 or more within three years. Unrestricted gifts to the Great People Scholarship will be matched dollar for dollar by the UW Foundation. Endowment-level gifts directed to a specific school or college will be matched 50 cents to the dollar. By joining with a group to create an endowment, you can make your mark at UW-Madison with a Great People Scholarship– forever.
