The UWM at Waukesha Foundation shares in the sadness of this week’s decision to close the UWM at Waukesha campus at the close of the 2024-2025 academic year. This development has left us deeply concerned for the students, faculty, and staff affected by this decision. As a Foundation dedicated to supporting education through scholarships and campus support, we are currently gathering information on what this closure means for our ongoing initiatives. Our priority remains the well-being and future prospects of the students who have been part of our scholarship programs, the dedicated faculty members who have tirelessly contributed to their education, and the generosity of the many donors allowing the Foundation to continue its mission.

We understand that this is a challenging time for everyone involved, and we want to assure you that we are actively exploring options to continue our support for the affected individuals in the best way possible. Please stay tuned for further updates as we navigate this situation together.
