I’m so thankful for all the donors.” Lindsey Chiasson, BS Accounting ’24. With a gift to the Business Administration General Scholarship Fund, you create transformational opportunities for students.

3. Lagniappe Internship Opportunity Fund

Securing a dream internship is an incredible achievement, but unexpected housing or transportation costs can turn excitement into concern. No student should have to choose between a valuable opportunity and financial stress. Internships can transform a student's trajectory, opening doors to real-world experiences, professional connections, and career success. The Lagniappe Internship Opportunity Fund exists to eliminate financial barriers. With your donation, students can say “yes” to life-changing internships.
