As their senior year of high school draws to a close, members of the first graduating class of the University of Maryland, Baltimore's (UMB) CURE Scholars Program gather their caps and gowns and look to the future. After six years of mentorship, hands-on learning, and research opportunities facilitated by UMB CURE, these 17 scholars are now college-bound.
Help us prepare these amazing students for their next big journey as college students, by making a gift for their graduation to fund their college essentials.
To prepare the students for this next chapter of their lives, UMB, supported by the Staff Senate, Faculty Senate, and University Student Government Association, is sponsoring a UMB CURE Senior Send-Off Campaign to raise funds and make sure the scholars have all the tools they need to be successful in college. The goal is to raise a total of $17,000 ($1,000 for each scholar) to ensure they go to school in the fall with all the college essentials including bedding, toiletries, laundry/cleaning supplies, dorm décor, electronics, school supplies, and more.
They will need laptops, dorm supplies and more to make their next chapter a success.The cost of college essentials can add up, so every small amount can provide the scholars with an item that will enhance their collegiate experience and make them feel at home.
Supporters can give to the UMB CURE Senior Send-Off Campaign from April 15 to June 30. The scholars will be presented with their personal bundle of supplies before heading off to school in August 2022.
Please join us by giving to the UMB CURE Senior Send-Off Campaign fund, so the scholars can head to college with everything they need to succeed.
This inaugural cohort will be the first group of CURE Scholars to graduate high school and head to the colleges of their choice. So far, the scholars have collectively received more than 100 college acceptance letters — and the opportunities are still rolling in. The scholars have dreams of pursuing competitive careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) as well as health care and entrepreneurship.
