What is your legacy?

When you include UW-Stout Foundation and Alumni Association in your estate plan, your generosity provides our students the highest quality education possible. Thank you for ensuring that the Foundation can impact those we serve well into the future.

Estate gift donors are part of an exclusive group known as the Bowman Society. Members ensure the enduring legacy of the Stout polytechnic experience for both students and faculty. We invite you to create a bright future for Stout students by considering a gift to UW-Stout in your will or estate plan.
