Partner with us over the next three years and step up to a named annual scholarship for a Washington University student.

How the challenge works

When you make a three-year commitment and a $5,000 gift, the Step Up Challenge will double your gift to $10,000. The challenge—sponsored by Washington University Trustee Larry Thomas, BSBA ’77—will continue to provide matching funds as you increase your annual contribution.

Year three$10,000$0

In appreciation, we will recognize you as a William Greenleaf Eliot Society Patron throughout the three-year term of the challenge. And each year, you will receive an update from your scholarship recipient.

Cost should never stand between a promising student and a WashU education.
