What’s Our Focus This Year?

Planting Seeds of Generosity—Growing the Leaders of Tomorrow.

This year, our Giving Day is all about planting seeds—seeds of opportunity, growth, and lasting impact.

Scholarships are those seeds, nurturing students’ potential and giving them the support they need to thrive. By investing in scholarships, we’re not just funding education; we’re cultivating a future filled with possibilities. Every gift contributes to growing the next generation of leaders.

With your help, this year, we can grow these important scholarship funds:

🎓 The Women in Leadership Scholarship Fund
Empowering the next generation of women leaders

🎓 The Italian Excellence Scholarship
Supporting an Italian citizen studying at AUR

🎓 The Emergency Relief Fund
Offering assistance to students facing unexpected financial hardships.

... and more!
