UWM receives a portion of its funding through the state’s biennial budget process. UWM’s continued growth as a major research institution and its service to the students of Wisconsin relies on continued support from the state.

Funding from the federal government is a key part of many of UWM’s research and academic initiatives, while federal programs also provide financial support to UWM’s students.
