Champions commit to giving annually for four years, helping cover a wide range of needs: tuition, textbooks, and transformational experiences such as research, education abroad and internships. Champions scholars are also supported through the College’s First Gen Trailblazers Program, which offers mentoring, professional development and a strong sense of community.

In the above video, hear from Steve (Geology '79, '83) and Cindi Sullivan about why they chose to become Champions and what this program means to them.
