About

First Ascent Scholars students shine on our campus. Academically driven and successful, these students give back to the community through volunteer work, and many are leaders in the Eccles School.

First Ascent Scholars demonstrate significant financial need. Your support helps them focus on education through scholarships, books and living stipends.

When you support a First Ascent Scholar, you are supporting their entire family and helping them achieve their dreams of a college education.Thanks to Jeff and Helen Cardon, all gifts made to First Ascent Scholars will be matched up to $40,000 maximizing your impact!
