SOAR Support Fund: Helping Students Overcome Financial Barriers

At SOAR, we believe that financial hardships should never stand in the way of a student’s success. The SOAR Support Fund provides critical assistance to returning adult students facing unexpected financial challenges—ensuring they can stay on track to graduate. Whether it’s help with tuition, textbooks, transportation, or emergency housing, this fund offers a lifeline when students need it most.

Your Impact: The Difference SOAR Has Made

  • In 2023-2024, SOAR raised over $11,000 in aid, with over 8,000 directly supporting tuition assistance, helping students stay enrolled and on the path to graduation.
  • Hundreds of dollars in textbook and instructional aids, ensuring students have the resources to succeed.
  • Support for housing, transportation, and emergency utilities, so students can focus on their education, not financial stress.
  • Recognition for academic achievements, celebrating student success with regalia and academic enrichment opportunities.

Since 2010, the SOAR Support Fund has distributed over $95,000 in assistance, helping countless students overcome financial roadblocks on their path to graduation. And as student needs continue to grow, so does our commitment to meeting them.

How You Can Help
