We’ve Always Been Superior
In 1949, the UW-Superior Alumni and Friends Foundation was incorporated as private, non-profit organization to raise funds and support university activities. Three students were awarded the first Foundation scholarships back in 1958.
Today, more than $1 million is awarded to our students each year. Because of the generosity of alumni and friends, the efforts to prepare Yellowjackets for the future – and the programs, scholarships, and opportunities that make UWS truly special – are better than ever.
Our Mission
