Dunker's Challenge
Helping students
The Dunker’s Challenge Student Education Emergency Fund was established in 2018 to assist ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ State University students who encounter emergency or catastrophic events that could prevent them from either continuing their education at ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ State or who live on campus and require emergency housing/dining over a semester or holiday break.
Award process
Dunker’s Challenge scholarships are paid directly to a ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ State student’s account to offset any balances pertaining to tuition, housing, dining, or fees allowing the student to direct personal finances to those unexpected emergencies that could keep them from returning to or finishing their degree at ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ State University.
Hundreds of students, alumni and friends of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ State University have made gifts to help students stay in college and continue to pursue a degree. Awards are given out as funds are available - your gift today will be immediately available to help a student in need.
Eligibility
Students finding themselves financially unable to meet the costs of their ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ State education are encouraged to contact the office of Student Engagement and Success. To be eligible for the Dunker's Challenge Student Education Emergency Scholarship, students must have a current and completed scholarship application on file with the University.
The Dunker’s Challenge Student Education Emergency Fund is a University-wide initiative and coordinated between the ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ State University Foundation and the offices of Student Affairs, Student Engagement and Success, Financial Aid and University Advancement.
