The purpose of this fund is
to increase the availability of scholarship funds for outstanding returning
adult, single parent, and other adult students. Many adult students struggle
to complete their studies while juggling family and employment obligations.
They also struggle with limited eligibility for financial aid because
of their part-time student status. Several scholarship funds are aimed
specifically at the needs of our growing number of adult students. Please
consider the following giving and naming opportunities.
You can contribute to an established
endowment or create a new named scholarship fund.

Several awards and scholarships
are given each year to adult students, many of whom are returning to school

Targeted Minority and Women
Nontraditional Student Scholarships
We aim to establish funds targeted
especially to returning adult minority students, and for returning adult
