Impact of Scholarships
You have the opportunity to make an impact via a scholarship.
Keeping an ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ education affordable has been a historical strength of the University. It is thanks, in large part, to ¹û½´ÊÓÆµâ€™s generous donors who create and support scholarships that ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ is able to build on this foundation and continue to open doors for its students.
For more than 100 years, ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ has been a place of opportunity. Meet some of the grateful scholarship recipients who have been directly impacted by the ongoing and generous support of benefactors who are committed to ensuring ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ remains that way for years to come.
My mom and I cannot express our gratitude enough for the Student Foundation for Social Change Endowment. This support has eased financial stress for a single mom and enabled me to pursue my education at ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ. The opportunity to further my education has been incredible, and I am forever grateful for this generous assistance.

As a child of a deaf adult (CODA), witnessing the importance of access to quality healthcare within the deaf community significantly influenced my decision to pursue dentistry. Receiving this scholarship has served as a powerful affirmation of my abilities, reminding me that hard work and dedication are genuinely appreciated. This encouragement has given me the confidence to pursue my dreams relentlessly despite my family’s ongoing financial constraints.
