#HOWLFROMYOURHEART THIS GIVING DAY
Giving Day is an opportunity for all members of the Western Oregon University community to provide support to campus programs, funds, scholarships, organizations, and clubs. Each donation makes a difference and provides needed resources to the university, enabling deeper and more meaningful campus experiences for countless current and future students, faculty, and staff. Tuesday, March 5, 2024, is a day for alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents and friends of Western Oregon University to #HowlfromtheHeart and build a brighter present and future for WOU!
Your Gift Supports
The Wolves Supporting Veterans Scholarship is an endowed scholarship that will provide scholarships to WOU student veterans who have bravely served their country and are now pursuing their education. Help us reach our goal of $10,000 this year to fully endow the scholarship, and award the first scholarship in the Fall of 2024!
Despite the fact that it is one of the most affordable universities in Oregon, over 80% of WOU students rely on scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial aid to help them pay for their education. Endowed scholarships like the Wolves Supporting Veterans Scholarship help student veterans to offset the cost of their education and continue on their degree path. Your gift to the Wolves Supporting Veterans Scholarship will make an enormous impact in the lives of student veterans and their families.
Currently Western Oregon University has nearly 100 student veterans, and the university has a proud history of serving and supporting those who served our country and defended our freedoms. The campus includes a Veterans Resource Center, which offers support, resources, and community to student veterans and their families, as well as Veterans Day and Memorial campus ceremonies. WOU also hosts a chapter of the student-led Student Veterans of America, which was recognized in 2018 by the national organization as the “Best Chapter in America.” The Wolves Supporting Veterans Scholarship will be another essential component of the university’s ongoing commitment to student veterans and their families.
