Graduating seniors, alumni, friends and family are invited to leave their mark on UIU by making a donation to UIU’s Scholarship/Alumni Fund. In appreciation of your gift, you will be recognized with a brick to be placed on the Fayette Campus by the University. Add your name or the name of any alumnus or alumni you wish to honor or remember and receive a permanent place in UIU history.

The bricks will be a lasting tribute to your love and support of Upper Iowa University. Your contribution to the UIU Scholarship Fund will build a better tomorrow for future generations – one brick at a time! And your gift is tax deductible!

Bricks are installed only twice a year before homecoming and graduation.
