Endowed scholarships sustain the financial aid program. These resources best enable ESF to meet the needs of students. We can direct this funding where it will have the most impact and acknowledge merit by rewarding high-achieving high school and transfer students.
Through the ESF Annual Fund, our donors provide a regular source of support for flexible scholarships. Annual Fund donors helped the College award Presidential and National Scholarships to undergraduates enrolled across the breadth of ESF academic programs.
Rich and varied perspectives are created by different experiences. ESF has both established and emerging pathway programs that will help us achieve our goals of recruiting and supporting students from varying geographies, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds. These programs make an ESF education more accessible to all deserving students. With increased resources, we can grow and enhance these programs.
Target Impact
$15 million
To fulfill our mission, we need dedicated and passionate students with a range of abilities and backgrounds. And they need a path to success without obstacles.
