Professional Clothing Voucher Program

Many students come to Hope unprepared to interview for professional jobs and internships.

While the Boerigter Center for Calling and Career provides training and guidance on resumes, online profiles and interviewing skills, we do not have a way to provide them with professional attire. A $400 clothing voucher is life-changing for students with high financial need, and our staff is prepared to shop with them to help them select the best outfit for upcoming job fairs and interviews.

Your gift has a dramatic effect on Hope students, preparing them for professional opportunities and more.

"I'm an international and first generation college student from Guatemala. Recently I was invited to participate in a meeting where I would attend a lecture by a former US Vice President. I immediately got excited but quickly realized I couldn't participate in my usual ripped jeans and long sleeve t-shirt. I thought I would need to cancel because I did not have room in my budget for a nice set of clothes. I reached out to the Boerigter Center, and everyone was eager to help me! Neither I nor my family could believe that there were people that would care about such details. That's what sets Hope apart. I can only say thank you! Thank you for planting seeds and showing students that people are willing to go the extra mile to see us succeed. God bless your donation!" - Current Hope Student

"It was truly an incredible experience getting to purchase clothes for my professional wardrobe. Being a first-generation student, I never realized the importance of having professional clothes to wear as I prepare to enter the workforce. Through this experience, I began my professional wardrobe and learned a lot more about the importance of professionalism. Thank you!" -Current Hope Student

Today, 15 gifts of any size to the Professional Clothing Voucher Program will unlock an additional $4,000 thanks to an anonymous donor.
