Support UMass

Support Makes a Difference

Whether it is financial aid for a bright young mind, funding for groundbreaking research, or growing innovative campus programs - each campus has several key fundraising priorities.  One of the most essential is student aid.  In 2018, UMass President Marty Meehan challenged the campuses to raise $200 million in endowment for financial aid over the next decade.  It is an ambitious undertaking that will benefit present and future students alike.  It will also double the University's financial aid endowment - allowing the campuses to provide scholarships to thousands of additional students while at the same time attracting and retaining the best and the brightest in an increasingly competitive environment.
