Webster University's Student Life

At Webster University, we believe in providing our students with a comprehensive, enriching educational experience that extends far beyond the classroom. We understand that student success encompasses a wide range of facets, from housing and health services to extracurricular activities. The Student Life fund is what makes this possible. Your support directly impacts the lives of countless students, making their academic journey not just memorable but transformative. Your contribution is not just a donation; it's an investment in future leaders, innovators, and change-makers.

Funds raised for Student Life through Giving Day will go toward three essential initiatives that are central to the Webster student experience:

• WebsterLEADS Retreats: For a quarter of a century, our WebsterLEADS certificate program has been creating leaders within the Webster community. It's about off-campus community building opportunities that open minds and hearts. Your support enables these retreats to continue nurturing the leaders of tomorrow.
• Student Grant Fund: Managed by the Student Government Association (SGA), this fund offers students the chance to apply for grants that support off-campus learning experiences. These experiences might include tournaments, competitions, or conferences that aren't part of their coursework but are integral to their personal and professional growth. Your contribution ensures that financial barriers don't hinder their pursuit of knowledge.
• Bridge Initiative: This initiative empowers faculty members to apply for small grants that enhance their students' learning experiences. These grants often cover honorariums for guest speakers on campus, tickets to cultural events in the community, or supplies for class projects. By supporting this initiative, you're not just investing in students but also in the educators who inspire and guide them.
