Welcome

Scholarship
Since October 2005, the Purdue Club of Milwaukee holds a permanent scholarship fund on account through the Purdue Foundation. This funding arrangement assists in administering the scholarship program and furthers the long-range goals of the Club. A minimum committed balance is kept in the fund permanently, and annual scholarship awards are intended to be dispensed from the fund commensurate with fiscal year fundraising and donation activities.
Donations to the fund are considered tax-deductible within the guidelines of the IRS, and company gift-matching programs will generally apply as well.
Company gift-matching forms, if applicable, should accompany the check in accordance with the published company policies.
Any contributions are greatly appreciated!
