WHITEWATER — UW-Whitewater has received a $10,000 donation from the UW Credit Union to go toward scholarships at the university.

"We are grateful for the UW Credit Union’s generosity to help make college more affordable for our students," said Jon Enslin, assistant chancellor for university advancement and president of the UW-Whitewater Foundation.

The UW Credit Union also will match contributions from its members up to $10,000 through Dec. 31, and the UW-Whitewater Foundation will match contributions up to another $10,000.

Enslin said the goal is to raise $40,000 for a need-based scholarship endowment.
