GREEN FUND PROJECTS

The UWO Student Greenfund is committed to making sustainable changes on our campus for future students, faculty and staff. 

At UW Oshkosh, the Green Fund generates up to $60,000 per year for students with green ideas to tap into–provided they have a sound, sustainable idea to develop.

We’re here to help at every step of the process from working out your ideas to organizing the project and filling out the application. You can make a positive impact on our campus! For questions, more information, or to talk about an idea please email greenfund@uwosh.edu or spanbauerb@uwosh.edu.
