Giving Day contributions of every size make a major difference! Support the HIGH (Helping Individuals Go Higher) Program today.

HIGH (Helping Individuals Go Higher) Program

The Wayne State University HIGH (Helping Individuals Go Higher) Program has one clear and urgent mission: to ensure that no student has to choose between pursuing their education and having a safe place to sleep or a meal to eat. Today, too many of our students are experiencing homelessness or severe housing insecurity. These are not just statistics — they are determined scholars, future doctors, educators, social workers, entrepreneurs and community leaders. Your Giving Day gift to the HIGH Program will help support:

  • Securing six permanent, on-campus dorm rooms dedicated exclusively to HIGH Program students in need
  • Providing critical meal plan support
  • Offering immediate, life-stabilizing housing for students facing homelessness
  • Creating a consistent and dignified pathway toward graduation and long-term success

When a student’s basic needs are met, their academic performance rises, their mental health improves, and their ability to persist to graduation increases dramatically. Make your Giving Day gift to support this critical program now!


Achieve your charitable goals and create your WSU legacy with a gift in your estate plan.

Wayne State faculty and staff can give via payroll deduction here.
