Helping you become a Blugold is our top priority. The UW-Eau Claire Foundation provides $700,000+ in scholarships to incoming students like you each year. Scholarships are awarded in various amounts and are based on several criteria (which must be met at the admission). Some scholarships are awarded automatically based on your college application, while others require that you fill out a separate application.

When you become a Blugold, the campus becomes your home away from home. You will probably find a favorite place to study or snack to grab. You will find friendship where you least expect it. You will have the opportunity to get involved in organizations, activities, and events. This is what campus life is all about. While you are here, maybe the academics, it does not mean you cannot have some fun along the way. And by some, we mean the best times of your life! There is so much to do that you will have a hard time picking where to start. With the most beautiful campus in the UW System as your backdrop, you will have hundreds of different lanes to explore your interests, settle into college life, and make friendships to last a lifetime.
Although the name has changed throughout the years, UW-Eau Claire's commitment to excellence in higher education has remained constant. In May 2016, we kicked off a year-long celebration of the school's 100th anniversary.
In recent years, the lower campus was transformed by constructing the new W.R. Davies Center, completed in 2012, and Centennial Hall, completed in late 2013 and occupied in early 2014. The Davies Center construction is funded entirely by student fees and replaced a beloved building that needed extensive renovation. It represents a commitment to student success and sustainability. Centennial Hall is home to the College of Education and Human Sciences, education studies, English, languages and special education, and many support services for students. It marked the first significant campus construction funded entirely by state dollars in 30 years.
