Warrior Legacy - Student Giving

With a gift to Warrior Legacy you support yourself and future generations of students at Winona State University - as alumni have done for you. WSU would be drastically different without the support of alumni and other donors. This is your opportunity to join the legacy through student giving. If every student gave a small gift of just $15 we would raise $120,000 annually!

You may choose what your gift supports. Here are 4 areas of impact that benefit students like you:

1. Student Scholarships - To help your fellow Students!

Help ensure that all deserving students can attend WSU through need-based, special talent, and merit scholarships. 

2. National Child Protection Training Center - To save a child!

NCPTC trains over 10,000 child protection workers a year, develops Child Advocacy Studies programs and is the only national organization with the goal of ending child abuse in the U.S. - right here at WSU!

3. Sustaining Fund - To keep improving at WSU!

Fund areas of greatest need on campus - new scholarships, student/faculty projects, lectures and more to enhance our unique WSU experience.

These programs make Winona State University stand out as an exemplary institution. Your gift helps ensure that this legacy of excellence continues.
