Financial Aid

UW-Eau Claire is where I gained the confidence to travel the world and really started to understand that I am capable of doing great things. This experience transformed my life and allowed me to have two amazing internships, multiple management roles, and gave me the opportunity to accept a full-time job before graduation.
