Support what you love in CLASS!
Thank you for championing the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences and investing in the future of our students. Every gift you make helps students move forward — whether it’s finishing a degree, overcoming unexpected hardship or marching on as part of the Sound of Idaho . This Vandal Giving Day, your support empowers students to stay brave, bold and on the path to success. Join us in these efforts — or give back to the area of CLASS that means the most to you.
Thousands of Vandals are closer to graduation than you might think. Through the Vandal Finish initiative, we’re reaching out to more than 13,000 former students — some dating back to the 1990s — who left the university just shy of earning their bachelor’s or associate’s degree.
Many are in good academic standing but had to pause their education due to financial strain, family obligations, long commutes or other challenges. Now, they’re ready to finish — but without access to traditional financial aid, many still face barriers.
Your gift to the Vandal Finish Fund provides flexible, unrestricted scholarship support to help these students complete their degrees and unlock new career and personal opportunities. With your support, more Vandals can finally cross the finish line and achieve what they started.
