Our Promise:
Your gift will make a difference for our students. All gifts to the Finance Program on WWU Give Day will directly support our students and program in ways that we could not accomplish without your generosity. Every donation matters - please give today!
Our Goal:
Your donation will help us to fund student scholarships and provide needed support for program and club activities - like student travel to case competitions, job fairs, finance and leadership conferences, corporate site visits, and more.
Gifts to our program may be matched through several challenges and matching opportunities – this increases your contribution and impact.
Our Results:
Last year was the first time the Finance Program participated in Give Day. Here are some ways we utilized donations to enhance the student experience:
- Supporting student travel and participation in events like Meet the Professionals, where students traveled to an investment firm in Seattle to network with finance professionals and augment their classroom learning.
- Supporting student site visits to other investment firms and major companies that grow students' networks and increase career readiness among our graduates.
- Generating student scholarship funds that directly support our finance students by offsetting their cost of attending WWU.
- Supporting student travel and participation in the College of Business and Economics Advisory Board Meetings, where students had the opportunity to see the inner workings of and participate in the decision making processes of their college.
With your support, the Finance program can continue to:
- Offer special opportunities for our students including case and research competitions, travel to special events, conferences, and much more.
- Improve our students' classroom experiences.
- Enhance the activities offered by the Financial Management Association (FMA) club to further the careers of finance students.
- Provide faculty with important research and teaching resources.
- Engage with alumni and industry experts; connect students to career opportunities.
Did you know:
1. On Western Give Day, 100% of your designated gift supports the finance program.
2. Our student-led FMA Club has no sponsor and needs your support! Thus far our students have admirably sustained this important club through their own resourcefulness. Your donation will enable them to enhance the value of this club to all Finance students.
3. There are currently limited finance-specific scholarships for CBE. Help us change that! Other departments like DSCI and Accounting have numerous dedicated annual scholarships for their students totaling over $125,000. Finance students should have financial support as well!
We wholeheartedly thank you for fueling efforts and creating opportunities for our finance students!
