Raised for Make Way
The Catalyst Challenge has inspired 12 donors to commit nearly $9.9M for endowed undergraduate scholarships.
At WashU, Jennifer Dionne, BS ’03, BS ’03, attained a world-class education, launched a career in teaching and research, and gained a best friend and life partner, Nhat Vu, BS ’03. Jennifer’s goals include improving planetary and human health to create a better future for her family and all of us.
Make Way: Our Student Initiative is building resources for undergraduate scholarships (like the ones that brought Jennifer to WashU), graduate scholarships and fellowships, and the student experience, allowing WashU to remove financial barriers for qualified students. With the help of generous supporters, we can offer all students countless opportunities to learn to think critically and across disciplines before going out to make their unique mark on the world.
