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.

Keith Bowling ’22

WLC Student Keith Bowling

Jefferson, Wisconsin
Anthropology and Psychology Major

I am blessed and humbled to receive the Rising Star in Psychology Scholarship. With your support, I will continue my education in anthropology and psychology, with a minor in criminal justice. I want to learn all about the human mind and the nation’s legal system to better understand why people commit crimes, so I can help make positive changes in struggling urban areas as an FBI agent. Every aspect of WLC is committed to helping you grow in your Christian faith, and I feel I will be prepared to share hope and make a difference in the community when I graduate. I cannot thank you enough for helping to fund my education – blessings to you and your family!

Neuroscience and Psychology Major

I feel extremely blessed and honored to have received the Love First Scholarship. Funding my education has been very difficult for my family, but because of generous donors like you, I am able to continue my education at a prestigious, faith-based institution like WLC. In addition to majoring in neuroscience and psychology, I’m minoring in Spanish and am starting my first year in the Christian Leadership Certificate Program. I hope to earn a Ph.D. in psychology to make a difference in the lives of children by entering the fields of research and experimentation. Thank you for your truly wonderful and generous gift.

Nursing Major

Being able to attend college has always been a dream of mine, as well as a dream of my mom’s. She was not able to attend college for financial reasons, but I am beyond grateful that I am able to, with the help of generous donors like you! WLC has brought many blessings into my life: I have met the best of friends, improved my knowledge with an amazing education and professors, and strengthened my faith every day with chapel and theology classes. After graduating, I plan to attend graduate school and become an oncology nurse practitioner or nurse anesthetist. Thank you for helping me further my education!

I am honored to be the recipient of the Paul and Linda Oswald Business Scholarship. This gift tremendously helps bring down the cost of my education.
