The Impact of Your Gift

WLC students share firsthand how your gifts truly make a difference.

Wisconsin Lutheran College believes that Christian leaders are desperately needed in every career field imaginable. Our mission is to prepare students for lives of service to the world while possessing a deep love for Jesus and their neighbor. Many students are eager to attend WLC, but the cost is simply too great for them to bear on their own; in fact, 99% of students receive financial assistance from the college. These Christian men and women count on your generous gifts to make attaining a Christ-centered WLC education a reality.

Goodhue, Minnesota
Marketing and Communication Major

I am so grateful to receive the Above and Beyond Business Scholarship. Being able to attend Wisconsin Lutheran College has been such a wonderful experience, and it's thanks to you that I am able to do that! I'm a Marketing and Communication double major, and I plan to work in the Marketing department directly for a company after I graduate. Some activities that I am involved in at WLC are the WLC Concert Band, the WLC Choir, and president of the Marketing Club. Being at a college where I am able to express and grow my faith is such a privilege. I am also able to bring new business opportunities to members of the Marketing Club. Thank you again for all that you do!

Nursing Major

Thank you for your generous scholarship donation. With this scholarship, I have been blessed to continue my nursing education journey at WLC. I am currently a senior nursing student at WLC, from Winona, MN. With your support, I have been able to go through the semester and participate in my Pediatric and OB clinical studies. I am very excited about my upcoming graduation and to see what the world of nursing has in store for me! I would not be here without donors like you. Thank you for your support!

Dowagiac, Michigan
Physics Major

I am extremely grateful for the support and encouragement to continue my work as the recipient of the Kepler Award in Physics. I am a junior in the Wisconsin Lutheran College physics department. Not only do I take classes at WLC, but I also work as a teaching assistant and carry out research. My research deals with the splitting of spectra using magnetic fields and continuing my astrophotography work. After graduation, I am currently looking forward to physics graduate school if possible. My continued studies and research work is greatly benefited by the Kepler Award as it allows me to focus more of my time on schooling and research. This has enabled me to pursue the work I love! Thank you!

Oak Creek, Wisconsin
Nursing and Spanish Major

Thank you so much for your generosity that has helped me make my education at WLC possible. I am so grateful to all of the people that have helped ease my college costs over the past 4 years. I will be graduating from WLC in May 2026 with a degree in both Spanish and Nursing, and I hope to work at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin after graduation. This past summer, I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Madrid, Spain for 4 weeks, which helped me grow in the Spanish skills I hope to use in my nursing career. Over my time at WLC I have been a part of the contemporary/gospel choir, served as an RA, and helped form a small group Bible study with campus ministry. These opportunities and all of the people and mentors I have met through my education here have been incredible blessings, and I thank you again for playing a huge role in allowing me to have these experiences.

I want to help more Christian servant leaders at WLC by making a gift!
