Student Success Fund (COVID Relief)
$25,000 Student Success Fund Matching Gift

Maximize your gift today when our students need it most

In the midst of a global pandemic, Duquesne University classes resumed on campus in August, with changes to ensure safety and health. But for some students, new protocols and procedures aren't enough.

The effects of COVID-19's economic disruptions persist, and will continue for months to come. Some students and their parents remain unemployed or underemployed. The financial aid packages that many depended on are now insufficient to meet their increased need. Some have not returned to campus; others may not be able to remain enrolled.

For 142 years, Duquesne has been dedicated to the Spiritan ideal that education should be accessible to all, regardless of ability to pay. That's why we established the Student Success Fund. The fund underscores this timeless commitment, providing increased financial aid for our students and their families, just when they need it the most.

The extraordinary need requires an unprecedented response -- and the Duquesne Day of Giving is the day to take action and respond. An anonymous donor has issued a $25,000 Student Success Fund Matching Gift for today only. This doubles the amount of your gift.

With your help, we will give our students the faith, courage and resilience to thrive in these challenging times.  Every gift today will resonate in countless lives for years to come.

Please join us with a gift to the Student Success Fund today. Thank you for your consideration.
