About

Maximize your impact through a matching donation: Thanks to an anonymous foundation, every dollar you give to the Finish Line Scholars Program will be doubled!


IMPACT: The Finish Line Scholars Program removes financial barriers for at-risk juniors and seniors. Last year, 109 students received retention grants and academic coaching to stay on track to graduate.


To help ensure financial challenges don’t prevent students from earning their degrees, the Finish Line Scholars Program provides retention grants and personalized support to juniors and seniors nearing graduation who are facing financial hardship.

Your support during Days of Giving will:
• Provide financial assistance for outstanding balances and urgent needs
• Help students stay enrolled and on track to graduate
• Support students at risk of stopping out so they can complete their degrees

Chancellor’s Challenge

If the UMass Lowell community reaches our goal of 3,300 donors during Days of Giving 2026, Chancellor Julie Chen and her spouse, Susu Wong, will generously contribute $50,000 to support career-connected experiences through the Chancellor Julie Chen Fund for Student Success!

Halfway There!

We're officially halfway through UMass Lowell’s Days of Giving, and the energy across campus is incredible.

So far, 1,851 supporters have already helped raise $309,345, but we still need momentum to reach our goal by tomorrow night.

You’ve already made an impact by giving — thank you. Now, you can help us go even further by:

  • Sharing Days of Giving with your network (email, text, or social media)
  • Posting why you chose to support UMass Lowell
  • Encouraging friends, family, and colleagues to join you in giving
  • Using the Advocate Toolkit to make sharing quick and easy

Here is our Advocate Toolkit to help spread the word: Days of Giving 2026 Advocate Toolkit

Every single gift counts during these 3 days. Thank you for being part of this effort.
