Honors College students at Wayne State have significant financial need. And while almost all Honors students receive some scholarship support, very few receive coveted full-tuition scholarships. Many Honors students thus need to work part-time or even full-time jobs, on top of classes and extracurriculars, to pay for their education.
That’s why we created the Finish Line Endowed Fund. The fund provides scholarships to seniors in the Honors College so they can finish strong and focus on their future rather than finances. Ultimately, we aim to make the Honors College tuition-free with a permanent endowment. As a first step, the college is endowing the Finish Line Endowed Fund and distributing $1,000 awards to as many seniors as possible each year.
Why senior year? The Finish Line Endowed Fund rewards the hard work of Honors students, who are highly involved and accomplished. It also empowers seniors to focus on their next steps — professional school, graduate school or career — without worrying about additional debt. Approximately 70 percent of Honors graduates pursue advanced degrees.
