Amplify Affordability for All

At Alfred State, financial need is one of the biggest barriers standing between a student and their degree. Modest expenses, such as a required textbook, lab equipment, or emergency car repairs, can disrupt academic progress or derail graduation plans altogether. We believe no student should have to choose between their dreams and a balance due.

That’s where you come in. By contributing to scholarships, microgrants, and emergency aid, you directly empower students to believe they can afford a college education, stay enrolled, and move confidently toward successful careers. Your gift doesn’t just fill a gap, it opens a door.

Why It Matters

• Scholarships: Expand access to need-based and merit-based scholarships for students from all backgrounds.
• Microgrants: Provide flexible aid to cover urgent needs such as books, meals, transportation, and more.
• Emergency Support: Help students overcome unexpected challenges without pausing their education.
• Retention Impact: Supply financial support just when it's needed most to cross the finish line, graduate, and succeed.

Invest in education and life's lessons learned at Alfred State by eliminating financial barriers and opening doors.
