Thank you to all who supported UHart students for Giving Tuesday 2023!
Since 2012, #GivingTuesday has grown to be a global movement demonstrating the collective power of millions to unlock opportunity and equity through gestures of generosity.
#GivingTuesday is a day to pay it forward and give back to a place that has made an impact on you. Donors joined us in our promise of providing a place where students gain the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to succeed in their everyday lives.
Where You Can Make an Impact
General Scholarship Fund
Gifts to the General Scholarship fund open doors to deserving students, regardless of circumstance, ensuring that they, too, can experience the transformative power of a University of Hartford education. Did you know that more than 90% of students at the University receive scholarship aid? The General Scholarship fund helps students like Kyla DeBenedetto '25 prepare for the future, become an asset to their profession, and explore their potential.
UHart Impact Fund
Gifts to the UHart Impact Fund provide unrestricted support, and touch all aspects of the University experience, providing immediate and vital support wherever it’s needed most, from student financial aid – the University’s highest priority – to state-of-the-art teaching and technology tools used in classrooms and research. The fund also provides valuable support for our distinguished faculty and helps advance new and innovative programming throughout the University. Support to the UHart Impact Fund helps strengthen the UHart experiences for students like Dylian Erwin '26.
BSU Book Fund
Black Student Union (BSU), formerly known as Brothers and Sisters United, is the oldest recognized student group on campus. In 1993 BSU established the BSU Book Fund. Now, 30 years later, the BSU Book Fund provides a wide range of tools critical to the education of students like Kiara Opoku '24, who would have never imagined the life-changing doors that were opened to her at UHart.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Fund
UHart is proud of our incredible diversity and is deeply committed to fostering an open, safe, and welcoming home for students from all backgrounds. The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Fund helps to bolster learning opportunities and programming for students, faculty, and staff to encourage thoughtful dialogue and discourse surrounding diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. The DEI Fund benefits the entire campus community and gives students—like Deyanna Williams-Barnaby '24—opportunities to explore their potential.
Hillel Annual Fund
In a time when building community is more challenging than ever, Hillel staff and student leaders have endeavored to safely develop meaningful connections for students. Through their inclusive programming, Hillel has created an incredible network for students like Hilary Bareiss '25 and Leila Kramer '27, providing opportunities for students to bond with and support each other, making UHart a place that is welcoming and a home away from home.
LEAD, The Women’s Advancement Initiative
Built on the legacy of Hartford College for Women, the Women’s Advancement Initiative’s collective priority is to advance the potential of women at UHart; challenging, encouraging, and empowering them as leaders. The Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD) program offers unique, educational, and leadership opportunities for students like Clarice Jayawickrema '24 and Tyanna Stewart '24, who benefit from access to a network of powerful, impactful women poised for success and positive change.
