This campaign seeks to raise enough money to make sure that every Dickinson student who needs a scholarship gets a scholarship. The goal is to make sure that we provide sufficient aid to meet the full demonstrated need for every student we admit—to make sure financial constraints never prevent potential Dickinsonians from experiencing this life-changing, and world-changing, education.

Dickinson is one of the very few—less than 70—colleges in the country that can do this. And it's only because of scholarship donors.

To reach this goal, we will raise $75 million, with one simple but powerful ask to our donor community: Change a life—change the world.

By investing in this effort, you will change a student’s life, you will help provide this transformational experience to someone who couldn’t afford it without your help. But you’ll also change the world, because Dickinson graduates don’t keep the benefits of this education to themselves. They become the doctors and scientists fighting disease; the entrepreneurs and business leaders solving problems and creating jobs; the nonprofit leaders, lawyers—and even the judges—creating a more just and equitable world; the artists, teachers and performers who move us, inspire us and help us understand the world. They join all the Dickinsonians out there making a difference every day.

“Without your support, I would not be able to attend Dickinson. I come from a neighborhood in Los Angeles plagued with alcoholism, drugs, gangs, dropping out and teen pregnancies. I have worked hard to one day become the first person in my family to graduate from college. Your scholarship support is an important reason I am able to afford to leave my neighborhood and study at Dickinson. And after I graduate, my goal is to open a high school in my community.”
