Learn more about your impact

Your gift to the Global Futures Final Mile Fund supports students in the College of Global Futures as they approach completion of their academic program in order to allow them to pursue the next phase of their career with greater ease and success. The fund assists students in achieving their future potential in many ways, including the cost of dress clothes for interviews; conference and networking fees; upgrades to education-related technologies and transportation fees; and expenses related to promoting and maintaining physical and mental health and well-being. Because of you, these students will not be weighed down by financial burdens as they approach the completion of their degree programs and pursue the next phase of their careers.

This scholarship helped me keep focused and stay on track for my senior year. I have so much appreciation and admiration for the donors who have made this possible for me. I hope to give back to students in the same way they have helped me."

Tala Al-Thaher, sustainability major

Working directly with students, I see firsthand how overlooked needs can create near-insurmountable barriers to their success. My wife and I established the Final Mile Fund to support these students — the ones that too easily fall between the cracks and yet, with a little help, can go on to make a profound impact in a world that needs their insights, vision and skills.”
