As you get ready to cross the stage, join a growing tradition of generosity and pride at UWF. With a gift of $20.25 to the UWF Foundation, you’ll receive a blue and green philanthropy cord to wear with your graduation regalia.

This special cord is a symbol of Argo pride and shows that you're committed to giving back to the university that helped shape your path.

Your gift supports current and future Argos through initiatives like student emergency services, first generation scholarships, Military and Veterans resources, and all UWF colleges. Be part of something bigger. You can also make your gift in honor of someone special such as a professor, advisor, mentor or parent.

Thank you for choosing UWF and congratulations on all you’ve achieved!
