Reduce Financial Barriers, Support College of Business Scholarships

At the College of Business, access and opportunity are central to our mission. Nearly two-thirds of our students are first-generation college students, and many are Pell Grant eligible. These students are hardworking, ambitious, and deeply committed to earning their degrees but they often face significant financial pressure along the way.

Student scholarships help reduce that burden. They allow students to focus on learning, persist through challenges, and complete their degrees on time. For many students, a scholarship is not just financial support—it is affirmation that they belong and that their goals are within reach.

Gifts to the College of Business Student Scholarship Fund directly support students with demonstrated financial need and academic promise. Together, we can ensure that financial barriers do not stand in the way of talent, resilience, and future leadership.
