The Excellence Fund is an
important source of support for great learning at UW-Eau Claire
— support that tuition and state funding cannot cover alone.
This fund is supported by annual gifts from alumni and friends that
are designated for UW-Eau Claire's areas of greatest need.
What specifically does the
Excellence Fund support?
The Excellence Fund helps provide the margin of excellence that
sets UW-Eau Claire apart from other universities. Gifts to the Excellence
Fund help support:
- nearly $500,000 each year in student
scholarships and fellowships
- faculty/student collaborative research
projects
- international study opportunities
for students
- faculty professional and curriculum
development initiatives
- Honors Program courses
- outstanding faculty and
staff awards
- additional opportunities
for enhanced teaching and learning as they
arise
Why should I contribute to
the Excellence Fund?
By pursuing a college education, today’s UW-Eau Claire students
have taken an important step toward a bright future, both for themselves
and for the communities and workplaces in which they will one day
live and work. Your gift to the Excellence Fund will help make a
UW-Eau Claire education — and a bright future — accessible
for students from diverse social, economic and ethnic backgrounds.
It also will support UW-Eau Claire’s marks of excellence —
those programs and initiatives that give the university its outstanding
national reputation for academic excellence.
