Your $8.33 monthly gift to the Alumni Legacy Fund helps at-risk students by strengthening the Keep HOPE Alive (KHA) program. KHA supports students who have experienced a first-time loss of the HOPE Scholarship. Regaining the scholarship is the end goal, but the program also aims to build students’ confidence and assist them in developing strategies for long-term success in college and career.

Here’s how it works: 

• Students who experience a first-time loss of the HOPE scholarship at the end of each spring semester are invited to apply to the program for the upcoming fall semester.
• Applications are reviewed, and students who are accepted into the program are eligible to receive $2,000 per fall and spring semesters.

Students are required to meet monthly with their KHA coach, attend monthly college success and life skills workshops, and participate in a semester onboarding session during which they will initiate their HOPE Achievement Plan (HAP). The HAP is an individualized academic success plan that helps students identify limiting factors, establish goals, develop strategies for success, and connect with resources to support their progress.
