Wisconsin Alumni Chicago Chapter

April 14-15 is UW–Madison’s annual Day of the Badger tradition, uniting Badgers worldwide in Badger spirit! ❤️ We’d love to encourage you to consider supporting the Chicago Chapter Scholarship Fund.

Here’s why it matters:
• This upcoming school year (26-27), thanks to generous donors, we plan to award $120,000 in scholarships to 6 new freshmen scholars. 🌟
• We have added new (one-time) scholarship awards to recognize students who have gone above-and-beyond our academic expectations of them. 🎓
• Today, our chapter is actively supporting 19 students, from freshmen to seniors, who are thriving at UW–Madison because of this fund. To date, we have awarded scholarships to more than 330 students from the Chicago area. 🏙️
• Beyond tuition support, we love connecting students with alumni -- whether that’s introductions, mentorship, or even internships. ✏️

Your gift, no matter the size, helps us continue this tradition of opening doors for Chicago-area Badgers. Every dollar raised for the Chicago Chapter on these two days will be matched (up to $13,000) for a double-impact donation. We’d like to thank the George and Dorothy Pellegrin Wisconsin Alumni Association Scholarship Endowment Fund, and the generosity of the Chapman family, for their support to our matching donations! ❤️🤍

Thank you for considering a contribution -- and for helping us keep Wisconsin pride strong this spring!
