Campaign Update 10/29/21
Due to an issue with our card processing system, our transaction page temporarily went down on the morning of 10/29/21. Because of this, we have extended the end date of our campaign to Monday, 11/1/21 to give our partners and friends one last chance to support the students we serve. If you are seeing this message on 10/29/21, please come back soon to make your gift!
Thank you for your support!

The transition period between undergraduate and graduate school can be financially difficult for scholars as they await their first graduate school stipends. There are various costs associated with transitioning to graduate school, such as travel, shipping of belongings, food, and rent and housing deposits.
