Immediate Impact Grants are a new way for alumni and parents to help students access an EMU education. By committing $5,000 (or more) per year for four years, donors can establish a new grant with the name of the donor’s choosing. Each year for four years, a student will receive aid from the grant fund. For many students, these grants can be a determining factor in selecting EMU.
We are deeply grateful to the 28 households of alumni and friends that have funded Immediate Impact Grants ranging from $20,000 to $100,000 since 2019, totaling $880,000 in new aid to students. We invite you to join in this meaningful impact today!
If you would like to establish an Immediate Impact Grant, please contact a member of EMU’s Advancement team at 800-368-3383 or email giving@emu.edu.
