Fund for Wisconsin Scholars

Founded in 2007 by John and Tashia Morgridge, the Fund for Wisconsin Scholars (FFWS) is a private, not-for-profit grant-making organization. Its mission is to increase the number of college graduates from Wisconsin public high schools by providing financial assistance to those attending public colleges and universities within the state. The fund operates as a last-dollar grant, meaning it covers remaining financial needs after other federal, state, and institutional aid has been applied, aiming to help students graduate with less debt.
