The University of Wisconsin Credit Union will donate $215,000 to need-based scholarships at UW-Madison and match contributions from its members today through Dec. 31, university officials said Wednesday.
In addition, the UW Foundation will match total gifts from the credit union and its members. That means a donation from a credit union member of $100, for example, would yield $400 for the university.
This is part of the UW Foundation’s initiative, “Great People. Great Place.” The foundation has set aside $20 million to match private gifts designated to need-based scholarships.
