Donations to financial aid scholarships like the Great People Scholarship open the doors of the university to the best and brightest students, regardless of their financial background. These resources expand prominent programs like Bucky’s Tuition Promise and Bucky’s Pell Pathway, which have become critical gateways for our talented students.

“I cannot thank you enough for supporting other people’s goals and dreams. This is not only money that is going toward my tuition — it is also something that is going to help me with my future career and life path. Thank you for being such kindhearted people. These funds are going to a great cause, and I will be proof of that.”
— Trevon Abbott ’23, Milwaukee
