The CUPPA Dean’s Fund for Excellence supports a variety of student programming and opportunities, including professional development activities.

This Giving Tuesday, CUPPA is raising funds for the CUPPA Dean's Fund for Excellence and the Last Mile Fund. The CUPPA Dean's Fund for Excellence supports a variety of student programming and opportunities, including professional development activities. First established in January 2021 by the CUPPA Alumni Association and with founding support from BNSF Railway, the Last Mile Fund serves as much-needed scholarship support for CUPPA undergraduate students who are within 30 credit hours of graduation and in good academic standing but have a financial hold on their account preventing registration for their final classes.

Both the CUPPA Dean's Fund for Excellence and the Last Mile Fund will be generously matched by donors! An anonymous donor has agreed to match gifts up to $2,500 towards the CUPPA Dean's Fund for Excellence and the Last Mile Fund will be matched by the CUPPA Alumni Association for gifts up to $2,500.
