Students help students by raising scholarship funds
A treat for harried college students translates into campus scholarship support through the fundraising efforts by members of the UW-Fond du Lac Multicultural Club.
For the second year, the club offered family and friends of students the opportunity to purchase “Exam Week Gift Bags.” Filled with refreshments, toys and coupons from local businesses, these bags were then distributed to students during the stressful end-of-semester week.
The contents of the bags are donated by the UW-Fond du Lac Alumni Association and local vendors. Proceeds from the December 2008 sale resulted in a $1,300 donation to the scholarship fund administered through the UW-Fond du Lac Foundation office.
“I am impressed with the altruistic dedication of the students in this group,” said club advisor and history Professor Paisley Harris. “This project promotes their goal of campus diversity, while also making college more affordable for another student.”
Applicants for the Multicultural Club scholarship need not belong to the club, but are required to write an essay on the topic of diversity.
