Great People, Great Place
Posted on February 18, 2009 at 4:38:39 PM
- The UW Foundation is sponsoring a fund-raising campaign called “Great People, Great Place”.
- The purpose of the campaign is to raise need-based financial aid funds for economically disadvantaged UW-Madison students who without it might not be able to attend. Need-based financial aid makes it possible for students to pursue their dreams at the university and eventually, to achieve their academic goals.
- If you would like to make a donation to the “Great People, Great Place” campaign and help change a student’s life, please click on this link: http://www.greatpeoplegreatplace.org/

Beware of Financial Aid/Scholarship Scams
Posted on January 29, 2009 at 6:53:26 PM
- Don't pay a fee for financial aid or scholarship information!
- In one current scam students and parents receive a letter that appears to be from an official financial aid organization. This letter may include personal information about the student and may even name the UW-Madison, but it is from a business the UW-Madison does not endorse.
- For more information about financial aid and scholarship scams see the following from the the Federal Trade Commission.
