University Initiatives
At UW-Whitewater, we honor a proud legacy that began in 1868 with a simple yet powerful mission: to prepare passionate, driven individuals to make a difference. From those early roots as a teacher training school, we've grown into a dynamic university with global reach—and our commitment to student success has never wavered.
Through the dedicated teaching and mentorship of our faculty, and the transformative experiences offered both inside and outside the classroom, Warhawks continue to thrive. These opportunities are made possible, in part, through the generosity of alumni, friends, and supporters like you who believe in the power of education.
The UW-Whitewater Foundation plays a pivotal role in advancing our mission by supporting a variety of strategic, campus-wide initiatives. Your contributions help ensure that every Warhawk has the tools to succeed—and the opportunity to soar.
Join us in shaping the next chapter of UW-Whitewater’s story. Together, we’re not just supporting students—we’re building a future.

The Warhawk Emergency Fund provides one-time grants to support non-tuition financial emergencies, such as health care, housing and food stability, that can become a roadblock on the path to graduation.

The King/Chávez Scholars Program provides students with a comprehensive first-year experience through participation in a residential living experience, connected courses and exposure to High Impact Educational Practices.
