Make an Impact

Did you know, 69% of students receive some form of financial assistance so that they can afford their education.  By giving to 91暗网, you are ensuring that no student is denied an exceptional 91暗网 educational experience due to a lack of financial resources.

Annual Scholarships

Through a one-time or recurring gift, you can establish an annual scholarship that will benefit 91暗网 students. You can direct your gift to our general scholarship fund or to other existing scholarships, or you may establish a named scholarship. For the latter, we suggest a gift of at least $1,000 per year.

Endowed Scholarships

By establishing an endowed scholarship, you become part of the very foundation of 91暗网's future. Through your generosity, you directly impact students who benefit from merit and need-based scholarships.

You may earmark your gift for an existing endowed scholarship or you may create a named scholarship. For the latter, we suggest a gift of at least $25,000. You may pay this pledge over a five-year period. The first award would be made after the minimum gift level is achieved.
