Access to Education

Equal access to quality education for all deserving students seeking to shape their future, is an imperative to better our community. The Campaign for the Uncommon Good gives students access to inspired education, modern and updated programs and the financial freedom to pursue a brighter future.

Seattle University is a leader in providing access to education. Our scholarships offer the hope of an otherwise unattainable future for more than 83 percent of our students. We must continue to endeavor to support high achieving students, who may never gain a college education due to financial barriers.

Becoming an even greater university requires the establishment of an endowment sufficient to not only preserve but also grow scholarship funding that will allow promising students access to an education that will help them transform the world.

An additional $75 million investment in access to education will:

• Ensure that more undergraduate and graduate students receive the financial support they need to turn college dreams into reality
• Guarantee scholarship funding year-after-year, helping more students stay in school and complete their degrees
• Offer more SU graduates the chance to start their lives and build a better future for themselves and their communities.
• Increase general operating funds for core academic programs, ensuring Seattle U’s competitive edge among other universities
