Our donor at the Ellucian Foundation is offering a one-off cash payment for students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Ellucian Foundation, established in 2020 by Ellucian, the leading higher education technology solutions provider.
Education has the power to transform lives; however, for millions of students, financial distress can lead to dropping out of school without completing a degree.
The PATH Scholarship was created to help higher education institutions support their students who may be experiencing economic hardship. Since its founding, the PATH Scholarship - now offered by the Ellucian Foundation - has provided more than $2.9 million in scholarships to eligible higher education institutions, benefiting more than 3,100 students.
