Ensuring Access: Giving every student a chance to soar

$65 MILLION

To prepare the next generation for whatever the future has in store means that every student has access to all aspects of a Union education. Even with significant financial aid, many students find it difficult to participate in programs like study away or unpaid internships. The Powering Union campaign is committed to ensuring that no student misses out on a Union opportunity due to financial circumstances.
