It's been a rough year, and we had to cancel our Annual Golf Tournament. But you can tell this year it cant get the best of us by giving $20.20 and making it represent the amazing impact we collectively make in the lives of Civil Engineering students.

The Basic Needs Initiative at Cal Poly Pomona estimates that students spend about $9 per day on groceries. A gift of $125 would help one Donald G. Wells Scolar pay for about two weeks of meals and other necessities.

Just a dollar a day adds up to a huge impact in the life of a student. For a student with a part time job, this could easily be a full month's pay!

It is our hope that scholarship recipients can minimize the time they spend at part time jobs so they can maximize the time they spend focusing on their studies or internships. $750 is the equivalent of nearly 70 hours of minimum wage work!

The estimated annual room and board cost for an undergraduate at Cal Poly Pomona is $16,742. A gift at this level would provide a little over a full month of room and board for a Donald G. Wells Scholar.

Undergraduate Tuition at Cal Poly Pomona is about $7,396 per year. So a gift at this level would almost completely fund a Donald G. Wells Scholar's tuition expenses for a full semester.
