Why this program?

Supporting an important transition.

As working scholars approach graduation, they may no longer be eligible to continue working as student assistants. This can mean losing an important source of income at a time when they are preparing for their next chapter.

Through voluntary contributions, ACD-FWSA hopes to provide assistance and encouragement during this transition.
