SCHOLARSHIP

In today’s post-secondary education landscape, access to technology is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Students need reliable computers, tablets, and smartphones to complete coursework, attend virtual classes, conduct research, and stay connected. Your support helps ensure that no student falls behind simply because they lack the

tools required to succeed.

Clothing is a fundamental need, even for college students. As students continue to grow and transition into adulthood, the clothes that served them throughout high school often no longer meet their needs in college. Your support helps ensure students have access to the clothing they need to feel confident, comfortable, and prepared for the challenges

of academic and social life.

Clubs and activity-based organizations offer invaluable opportunities for students to engage socially, develop leadership skills, and begin building professional networks. However, many of these opportunities come with associated fees. Your support ensures that every student can participate, regardless of their financial background, helping them to foster connections and experiences that are integral to their personal and academic growth.

The cost of essential personal care items—such as soap, toothpaste, and hygiene products—has risen by over 30% in the past three years. In addition to these daily necessities, students also require bed linens and other basic supplies to make dorm living safe and comfortable. Your generosity helps ensure that financial hardship doesn’t compromise a student’s dignity or well-being.
