The goal of this fund is to grow enrollment by attracting more first-time college students and offering them a renewable scholarship package that minimizes their out-of-pocket cost of attendance and includes additional support for study abroad and career development opportunities.
Students from low-income families, Pell-eligible, will have minimal or no out-of-pocket cost of attendance.
