CALES Finish Line Support Fund
Your donation will help provide the last bit of financial support that students need to cross the finish line, complete their degree and start their careers on the right foot.
Going into Spring 2025 class registration, 227 CALES undergraduate students had past-due balances, totaling $2.18 million. Of those, 63 were seniors just a few credits short of graduation and at risk of not finish their degree due to a short-term lack of funding. This often happens because of personal events with large, unexpected expenses. This is the worst possible outcome for students—they've invested their time, money and energy with us only to leave without a degree, and the statistics show that overwhelming numbers of students who pause their degree will not return. An immediate, surmountable challenge can easily turn into a lifelong loss of the future that students have worked so hard to achieve.
Thanks to donors like you, the Finish Line Fund has allocated over $100,000 to help 40 CALES students cross the finish line, complete their degree and start their careers on the right foot.
