King/Chávez Scholars

Step forward for access, opportunity, and student success.

The King/Chávez Scholars Program has empowered incoming UW‑Whitewater students since 1997, helping them build confidence, community, and momentum as they transition into college. Your support fuels the experiences that shape their first year—and their future.
