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
