Wolverines Academy is a Private Operating Foundation that provides direct, sustained educational support to high-potential individuals in underserved communities. We invest in people who demonstrate grit, integrity, and the drive to transform their families and communities.
A Private Operating Foundation dedicated to long-term educational investment.
For more than a decade, Wolverines Academy has helped students from underserved communities in developing nations to start and continue their university education. What began with a small group of students in northern Thailand has grown into a multi-country program built on discipline, hard work, and personal responsibility.
Our commitment is simple:
Across the world, talented students drop out of universities because they cannot afford basic living costs — food, transportation, textbooks, and housing. A modest monthly stipend can be the difference between graduating and giving up.
Wolverines Academy steps in exactly at this point:
Just enough support, for just the right students, at just the right time.
We keep our program simple, transparent, and measurable.

Our long-term goal is as bold as it is achievable: Grow the Wolverines Academy to support 1,000 university scholars per year within the next 25 years.
To operate at that scale, the Wolverines Academy aims to build a $25 million endowment that will provide stable, perpetual funding of $1 million annually — enough to support 1,000 students at $100/month, forever.
Our model is intentionally simple:
Wolverines Academy is a Delaware-incorporated Private Operating Foundation with formal governance policies, zero board compensation, and complete financial transparency.
