Special Opportunity Fund

The Special Opportunity Fund was created within the Parent Fund to support students in need of timely financial support. The money was made available for students who would otherwise not be able to take advantage of academic and personal opportunities because of the cost. Students have received money from the fund for such reasons as to pay for books and belongings lost in fires, to pay for travel costs in order to apply for prestigious scholarships, to travel to conferences, and to participate in campus activities, including club sports.
