Archway Fund
On this page:
Your belief in Nebraska Wesleyan University, powered by your support of the Archway Fund, is the cornerstone of campus and the foundation upon which every bright student success story is built. Your investment strengthens the NWU community each and every time we gather: resonating through every lively classroom discussion, fueling every captivating stage performance, and sparking discovery in every cutting-edge lab.
Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Nebraska Wesleyan education, which is why we rely on the generosity of alumni and friends each year to bridge the gap. The Archway Fund provides vital support for:
Scholarships and financial aid
Academic programs
Athletics
Campus enhancements
New technology
Small class sizes
Experiential learning
and the vital support necessary to foster student success at every stage - from their first day on campus through commencement.
