Badger Fare Program

The Dean of Students Office works to connect students who are dealing with temporary and ongoing food insecurity with campus and community resources for long-term support, while providing them with funds that they can immediately use to purchase food on campus.

These funds will be given to a student in the amount of $75 via their Wiscard. All enrolled students who meet the criteria below are eligible to receive funds once each semester. Students with additional need may be eligible once a semester and will be considered on a case by case basis.
