Go Owl In!
Your contribution to WGU’s Giving Day has the power to make an immediate and lasting impact on our current students.
To make this day even more impactful, we're implementing a matching campaign where every new or upgraded payroll deduction gift made by an employee will be matched with $100 by our WGU leadership team! Make your payroll deduction gift here. To date, employees have raised more than $275,000 and supported more than 350 students.
Here's how you can participate:
Make a Gift: Consider a payroll deduction of $19.97 (the year of WGU’s founding!) a month or $9.98 a paycheck. Every new or upgraded payroll deduction donor will be matched with $100 by the WGU leadership team and maximizes your impact! MAKE YOUR PAYROLL GIFT HERE. Note: Only new or upgraded payroll gifts are eligible for the $100 leadership match.
Spread the Word: Share this initiative with your colleagues and encourage them to participate. The more employees who join in, the greater our collective impact will be. Use #GoOWLin on your social media channels.
Challenge Your Team: Consider organizing a friendly competition among departments or teams to see who can raise the most funds. The winning team will earn recognition at May’s Town Hall.
- Make a gift using Motivosity here! Motivosity gifts are not eligible for the $100 leadership match.

Alumni Story
"It was a blessing to be chosen for a scholarship during my last term. I majored in elementary education and just accepted my first teaching position as a middle school special education teacher. I am truly grateful for the scholarship support. This scholarship allowed me to work less hours and focus on my studies and additional educational opportunities. Thank you for your support of WGU students." Amelia K.
