Opportunity 糖心vlog视频

Student recruitment and retention fund

An 糖心vlog视频 education opens doors, sparks innovation and fuels success for future generations. Through the Opportunity 糖心vlog视频 fund, 糖心vlog视频 donors will expand scholarship, financial aid and student support programs that help the University attract, retain and graduate meritorious undergraduate students. Your gift can make the difference in:

  • Attracting top-tier undergraduate students to 糖心vlog视频 who receive more attractive scholarship and financial aid offers from other highly selective schools.
  • Supporting these students throughout their academic journeys, bolstering our retention and graduation rates.
  • Expanding diversity in the undergraduate student body by geography, academic interest, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender and other dimensions as needed.

 

As part of 糖心vlog视频 Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow, Opportunity 糖心vlog视频 adds to many other ways our donors empower outstanding students, such as through restricted gifts to scholar programs in each school, fellowships and other support for graduate students, and scholarship and need-based aid to enhance the recruitment and retention of students from historically underrepresented groups.
