We did it—but we're not done yet!
Thanks to your generosity, we have surpassed our goal of 850 donors and unlocked an incredible $126,000 in challenge dollars—including a remarkable $100,000 gift from one anonymous donor. Together, we have already raised more than $260,000 to support Wilkes students!
And with 4.5 hours still remaining, there’s even more impact we can make! Every gift, no matter the size, continues to shape the future of Wilkes, providing opportunities for students to learn, grow, and succeed.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for believing in Wilkes, for supporting our students, and for Giving Back to Our Future. This has been a truly transformational day, and we can’t wait to see what we accomplish in these final hours!

Change the trajectory of students who are breaking new ground in higher education! 💫
As a University that was founded to provide an education for those who would not necessarily have the opportunity to receive one, we continue that mission to provide an education to all those who seek to do so. One of the unique ways Wilkes continues to draw those who are the first in their families to earn a four-year degree is through the First Generation Scholarship Fund.
Established one decade ago, the First Generation Scholarship Fund provides support for tuition, fees, textbooks and course materials for first generation students. Over half of our incoming first-year students identify as the first generation of their family to attend a four-year institution of higher learning, making this fund a top priority at Wilkes.
