Investing in our Students - Today and Tomorrow

Each year, donors like you make a difference by contributing to scholarships that allow us to remove barriers, giving deserving students opportunities they need to achieve their educational goals.

Addressing Financial Need

Scholarships make a difference for more than 1,000 Huskies every year. Scholarships cover more than just tuition. Immediate-use scholarships help students facing more urgent needs, such as text books, housing and food insecurities.

Attracting Top-Quality Students

Now more than ever before, scholarships are vital to our ability to recruit and retain high-performing students in a highly-competitive landscape. By providing scholarships, you increase our ability to create opportunities for students based on their ability and not their ability to pay.

Create or Support a Scholarship Fund

BUF donors have already created more than 400 scholarship funds, which help us remain competitive by recruiting and retaining students, creating a diverse community and responding to the growing need to reduce debt for our students. Call today to find out if one of our scholarship funds already aligns with an area which you are passionate about supporting, or to create your own scholarship fund.
