Support the Institute of College Initiatives on Torero Tuesday!
We are proud to announce the 25th anniversary of the Institute of College Initiatives (ICI)! Originally established with the Upward Bound program serving Kearny High School, ICI grew to include Student Support Services, the McNair Scholars Program, and Upward Bound Hoover. We currently provide invaluable college access services to over 650 students who identify as first-generation, low-income, underrepresented, or living with a disability.
In honor of our 25th anniversary, we are launching the For Us From Us Fund.
As we know, or experienced firsthand, financial emergencies during our undergraduate studies create undue stress during an already challenging time. Through the For Us From Us Fund you can directly
support ICI students at USD. The fund will provide students in need with timely support to address hardships not typically covered by financial aid. The fund will be available solely to USD undergraduates participating in SSS or McNair, including Upward Bound alumni currently attending USD.
We know that together we can make a difference!
