Financial Aid Giving Week

A special thank you to all who supported WIS during our fifth annual We Are WIS Financial Aid Giving Week, from November 29 through December 2, 2022. We saw an incredible outpouring of support from the WIS community – 270 individuals contributed and raised more than $226,000 in support of our financial aid program!

A WIS record was set for most donations ever made during this week of giving. In addition, a $100,000 match was unlocked, which allowed every gift have an even greater impact.

We are so grateful to all those who took part, showed their support and contributed so generously. Your support helps make it possible for many amazing students to attend WIS, making our community stronger overall. Thank you.

This campaign ended on December 2, 2022, but you can still make a gift to WIS by clicking here!
