Empowering Student Firsts

Donors empower students to experience firsts during their college experience: a first opportunity to study a subject they love, first international travel, first chance to compete on a national stage. In 2020-21, more than half of Penn College students were the first in their family to attend college. Opening opportunities transforms lives.
