Who We Are
A family-driven 501(c)(3) dedicated to creating long-term educational opportunity.
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:
No overhead. Direct impact. Real results.
Why We Exist
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.
Our Impact
We keep our program simple, transparent, and measurable.

The 1,000 Wolverines Vision
Our long-term goal is as bold as it is achievable:
Grow the Wolverines Academy to fund 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.
How We Work
Our model is intentionally simple:
Identify hardworking, disciplined students with strong academic performance and high financial need
Provide a fixed monthly stipend to cover essential living expenses
Monitor progress through grades, communication, and mentor feedback
Keep administrative overhead at zero. The Jones family foundation covers all administrative costs, so 100% of every dollar that you contribute goes directly to our recipients.
We ensure that money goes directly to our Wolverine scholars, not their universities 100% aligned with transparency, efficiency, and results.
Join Us
A small gift makes a life-changing difference. We strongly encourage our supporters to set up a monthly recurring commitment. Even $10, $20, or $50 per month can make a tremendous difference for our scholars. While we will certainly accept one-time donations, we strongly prefer monthly contributions that will provide us with predictable revenue to drive our aggressive growth plan. Whether you choose a one-time donation or a monthly commitment, your support creates an immediate impact for students working hard to change their futures.
