University College

Empower Learners of All Ages and Build Tomorrow’s Leaders

Learning has no age limit and no boundaries. From high school students taking their first steps toward college, to adults returning to complete their degree or finding new passions, University College provides unique spaces where individuals of all backgrounds can find their path. We foster an environment where every student can thrive—academically, personally, and professionally.

The Bachelor of General Studies Scholarship Fund provides essential support for adult learners who are ready to return to college and complete their degree. Many of these students have already started their journey, and with your help, they can overcome financial barriers that might otherwise prevent them from finishing. Your gift helps them build the skills they need to succeed in their careers and lives. It’s more than just giving — it's a community investing in and believing in students who are striving to achieve their lifelong dreams.

The Summer Pre-College Scholarship Fund opens the door of opportunity for high school students to step onto a college campus and begin their academic journey. Temple’s Summer Academy offers potential future Owls a chance to experience the rigor of college courses while also exploring new academic interests. The program allows them to earn college credit, build confidence and prepare for the future. Your support helps make this life-changing experience more accessible to students from underrepresented neighborhoods. A donation could help a student unlock their potential and become the first in their family to experience college.

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) brings together individuals 50 and older who are passionate about learning and making meaningful connections. It’s not just about knowledge— it’s about community. OLLI members engage in stimulating discussions, discover new hobbies, and form new friendships. By contributing to OLLI, you help sustain a community that believes learning never ends and that every individual can continue to grow.

Every donation—no matter the size—helps create a world where learning is not just an opportunity, but a lifelong journey. Your generosity ensures that University College remains a place where students of all backgrounds can explore their potential, pursue their dreams and make a lasting impact on the world around them.

We don’t just educate—we empower students to transform their lives.
