One Day for UK is the University of Kentucky’s 24-hour online giving day. On April 23, 2026, the Big Blue Nation will come together to support the colleges, programs and causes that we love at UK. Join a tradition of generosity that Fuels the Mission and Drives Success for every Wildcat. Visit www.onedayforuk.com to follow our progress and make your gift.
You help students cross the Finish Line
Earning a college degree, walking across the stage at Rupp Arena, is one of the proudest moments in students' academic careers. But for some students, financial barriers can delay that achievement. An unexpected bill can keep a student from their moment, even with just a few more classes to take. The Finish Line Fund provides immediate support to students in the homestretch of graduation.
No student should have to put their dream on pause because of a financial hurdle. Your gift on April 23 ensures it does not.
"The scholarship helped me complete my fourth year, mentally and socially. It's helped me with schooling, housing, food, transportation and even small things, like being able to like go out and enjoy time with friends. It's more than just financial help."
Jay Harris, Finish Line Fund
