Give Online

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, CEW+ can provide valuable education and career counseling services, critical emergency funding, pivotal scholarships, and thoughtful programming.

Since its founding in 1964, CEW+ has worked with the institution to flex to the evolving demographics and needs of students, staff, and faculty—beginning with challenging why returning students were ineligible for scholarships, and continuing today by developing services and programs that enhance support for students from nontraditional backgrounds, grounded in the belief that “rising tides lift all boats.” At its core, CEW+ provides career and education counseling, along with financial support through scholarships, fellowships, and emergency funding.

CEW+ needs partners willing to help ensure that our services continue without disruption. To read more about the impact of CEW+, read the stories of those we serve.

STORIES

Ishita is committed to using economics not just to study inequality, but to dismantle it. 

“My past taught me to persist when systems fail, to find solutions where none exist, and to fight for others who are too often forgotten. My pursuit of medicine is not about prestige, but about justice—for families like mine.”

For Minkyong, impact means more than financial returns—it means building systems where professional success and personal dignity are not competing choices, but shared possibilities.
