Everyone in Northeast Wisconsin deserves access to higher education, regardless of their financial situation and life circumstances. Through the Â鶹ŮÀÉ Foundation, you can help make college a reality for someone who may have not believed higher ed was an option!

You have the power to transform lives!

Individuals from all ages and backgrounds walk through the doors of Â鶹ŮÀÉ:

  • Students proud to be the first in their families to earn a degree
  • Achievers determined to break the cycle of poverty
  • Parents balancing jobs, children, and studying
  • New high school graduates
  • Veterans fresh from military service

The common thread? A desire for a better future.

Around 40% of Â鶹ŮÀÉ program students are low-income. Receiving a scholarship or emergency funding can be crucial assistance to completing a semester.
