MAXIMIZE

Double the impact of your gift. Maximize a UW Foundation match through the Great People Scholarship.

  • Unrestricted gifts of any amount to the Great People Scholarship will be matched dollar for dollar.
  • Additionally, unrestricted named endowment funds of $25,000 or more pledged over a three-year period qualify for the match. Join together with like-minded others to establish a fund.
  • Gifts to a specific school or college will be matched 50 cents to the dollar.

It's not often that you can double the impact of your investment. Guaranteed. But when you make a gift to the Great People Scholarship, you can do just that. The University of Wisconsin Foundation will provide a match up to a total of $20 million.

Every dollar contributed to Great People can provide two dollars to attract and retain the best students at UW-Madison -- the community leaders and ambitious dreamers. Literally, the kid next door who, even with savings from summer and part-time jobs, grants, work-study and family contributions, is deterred from attending UW-Madison due to rapidly rising tuition and inadequate institutional funding for financial aid.

Do the math, and maximize your gift. Give to the Great People Scholarship today.
