The University Foundation: UW-Marshfield/Wood County provides financial support for students, faculty and staff, and various campus programs and activities. In particular, the Foundation supports four areas: scholarships, technology, professional development, and emerging campus needs.

Scholarships
The University Foundation funds an array of scholarships for new, continuing and part-time UW-Marshfield/Wood County students each year. For the 2006-07 academic year, the University Foundation awarded 66 scholarships totaling $64,669 to students attending UW-Marshfield/Wood County. Both merit and need-based scholarships are available.

Technology Fund
The continual development of new computer and instructional technology has greatly enhanced the educational environment. Also, it has added the greatest cost of doing business. The Foundation's Technology Fund is an additional resource for the campus to use as it updates both hardware and software systems to provide a prime learning experience for our students.

Professional Development Fund
Learning is a life-long activity. In order for our faculty and staff to stay current in developments in their field and to become familiar with new approaches to teaching, they must attend conferences, workshops and other educational offerings, often at their own expense. The Foundation's Professional Development Fund helps defray these expenses.

Dean's Fund
A special fund used for campus enhancement and emerging needs.

2009 Board of Directors
Members of the Board of The University Foundation: UW-Marshfield/Wood County are community leaders who are strongly committed to the support of higher education.
