Giving Week

Support students when and where they need it most for Giving Week

Gifts to the CMU General Scholarship Fund give the university—and yourself—maximum flexibility to help students: unrestricted scholarship donations go where they are most needed at any given time, whether it be for need or merit-based awards. 

Since this is a general scholarship fund, it gives the CMU Office of Financial Aid the flexibility to use your generosity in the way that’s most needed at any given time. The nature of the award may vary depending upon the needs of the student. For instance, funds may be used to help those middle-income students whose families don’t qualify for federal assistance but still need a helping hand with college expenses. They may also be used to close the gap between financial assistance and financial need for another student who might not be able to attend college without this help.
