WILKES FUND: The Wilkes Fund supports the University’s greatest needs, such as academics, mentoring, student development initiatives and more. Gifts to the Wilkes Fund have the largest impact on the everyday Wilkes experience for students.

FIRST GENERATION SCHOLARSHIP FUND: Established one decade ago, the First Generation Scholarship Fund provides support for tuition, fees, textbooks and course materials for students who are the first in their family to attend a college or university. Over half of our incoming first-year students identify as the first generation 
of their family to attend a four-year institution of higher learning, making this fund a top priority at Wilkes.

GENERAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND: Wilkes offers financial assistance to nearly all of our students to make it possible for them to attend Wilkes and benefit from a Wilkes education. By offering this financial assistance, Wilkes is able to attract and retain a talented and diverse student body.

STUDENT SUCCESS: Our campus community shares a broad-based commitment toward University-wide student support, retention and graduation goals. Supporting Student Success allows Wilkes to implement programs and provide resources that help lead to better student preparedness, performance and outcomes.

STUDENT WELLNESS: As a community of learning in which co-curricular and extra-curricular activities complement academic life, students, faculty and staff work together every day to promote individual student development and wellness. Supporting Student Wellness provides funding for activities, programs, organizations and cultural opportunities that empower students to meet their full potential both academically and personally.
