Impact of Your Gift

Your Gift Makes a Difference For Every Student

University of Wisconsin-Superior continues to be a place where students are seen, supported, and celebrated – where a student-centered mission isn’t just a phrase, it’s a practice. Every part of the Yellowjacket experience is shaped by generosity: faculty who know their students by name, classrooms where learning is hands-on and personal, and opportunities that open doors for every kind of learner. From Weekend of Welcome to graduation day, donor support is there every step of the way.

“Donor generosity through scholarships not only relieves me of the financial responsibilities of college but also serves as motivation for me to strive for excellence in everything I do. I am truly so unbelievably thankful for your support and belief in my potential. Thank you for the generous support and for your commitment to supporting UW-Superior students.”

Advancing Academic Research and Infrastructure

From out on the waters of Lake Superior to in the lab on campus, undergraduate research takes Yellowjackets to incredible places. The benefits of undergraduate research are undeniable, providing critical thinking, collaboration in the workplace and transferable skills to career interests.

Contributions to the Foundation support these extraordinary opportunities for students, including the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). SURF is a chance for students to spend the summer working on a research project with the support of a facility mentor.
