Scholarships are an investment in the future, preparing the scientists, teachers, business leaders, innovators, and creators that our communities need for growth and success.
Future Focus Fund
Emergency aid
The Future Focus Fund is a scholarship to reduce student loan debt and help students graduate, including many seniors in danger of “stopping out” or dropping out as additional financial barriers arise in their final semesters.
Named Scholarships
Support the area YOU are most passionate about.
A named scholarship gives you the unique opportunity to direct your support to a specific department, sport, or student demographic. You can define the criteria for your award and see the firsthand impact your generosity has on a student’s academic career.
Parkside Pathway
For incoming & transfer students
The Parkside Pathway Fund is a scholarship fund for new students to Parkside. Whether they are coming directly to Parkside or transferring from another school, this support provides a pathway to make Parkside their home.
Scholarship Student Story:
Nina Pelli
Computer Science
Most people don’t expect a Computer Science major to be the Lead Fiction Editor of a literary magazine, but at Parkside, those worlds collide. Meet Nina Pelli, who is blending logical programming with creative leadership, all while preparing for a career in software development and UX design.
Invest in future Rangers
Join the many supporters who invest in student success through the gift of a scholarship at UW-Parkside. We look forward to working with you to create a scholarship opportunity that will have a direct and lasting impact on UW-Parkside students.
Endowed Scholarships
An endowed scholarship creates a permanent source of support for students’ educational needs. Your gift is invested with the UW-Parkside Foundation, and only the earnings are used to provide scholarship awards each year.
Create your endowed scholarship with a gift or pledge commitment of $10,000 or more. Pledges may be completed over a period of up to 5 years.
To ensure the scholarship’s long-term health, scholarship awards will begin three years after endowment and/or pledge completion. The scholarship award amount is determined annually based on available fund earnings.
Annual Scholarships
By establishing an annual scholarship, you make a yearly commitment to sustain and encourage UW-Parkside students. Scholarships are awarded as long as you choose to contribute.
Create your annual scholarship with a gift or pledge commitment of $2,000 or more. Pledges may be completed over a period of up to 4 years (minimum $500/year).
