UW-Marinette Foundation

Mission Statement

The Mission of the University of Wisconsin-Marinette Foundation, Inc. is to promote excellence at UW-Marinette while enhancing the educational and cultural activities available on its campus.

Objectives

The Foundation's primary objectives are to provide scholarship opportunities for students; encourage and support programs designed to involve the community in the campus; and help improve the resources available to students, faculty and staff.

Incorporated in 1974, the UW-Marinette Foundation is an independent non-profit organization that exists for the purpose of raising, investing and distributing funds for the benefit of the University of Wisconsin-Marinette. Alumni, community members, faculty and staff, businesses, industry, philanthropic foundations, and friends have contributed many Foundation gifts to the campus over the years including over $12,000 in student scholarships a year, two-way video classroom furnishings, faculty multi-media computers, Theatre on the Bay backstage renovation, and the campus entrance sign.

Scholarships

At this time, scholarships are awarded in the spring for the following academic year. Applications may be obtained from high school guidance offices or the UW-Marinette Student Services Office. Applications are also available as PDF files online.
