Gifts to Student Emergency Fund contribute to...
It’s Piper Funding Week and Hamline students facing financial crises need your support to stay on track to graduate.
Dean of Students Patti Kersten is seeking to raise $10,000 for the Student Emergency Fund, and a generous anonymous donor will match the first $5,000 donated dollar for dollar. Make your gift today, double the impact of your support, and help Hamline students alleviate some of their financial burdens so they can stay focused on their college education.
In the fall semester of 2024, this Student Emergency Fund was able to help 50 students with their financial needs, spending a total of just under $30,000! This went towards students' medical bills, vehicle repairs, groceries, rent and utilities, transportation needs, and more. Helping these students get out of these financial situations can boost their educational and social lives dramatically, leading to a more successful college experience.
Every dollar contributed to this fund will make a real and meaningful difference in the lives of Hamline students. Take advantage of the generous matching funds, donate now, and help a Hamline student move past financial need and onward to a diploma.
*Any dollars raised over our goal will go toward assisting Hamline students facing financial crises now and in the future through the Student Emergency Fund.
On behalf of the Hamline learning community, thank you. Thank you for providing the vital tools, opportunities, and experiences that empower Pipers to succeed.
