The University of Wisconsin Credit Union announced Wednesday it is making an outright gift of $215,000 to need-based scholarships at UW-Madison.
“I think everyone knows that need-based financial aid is one of my highest priorities,” UW-Madison Chancellor Carolyn “Biddy” Martin said during a Wednesday press conference at the Mechanical Engineering building to announce the gift. “I couldn’t be happier about this announcement.”
In addition, the UW Credit Union will match contributions from its members through the end of 2008.
