Support the Hampshire Student Pathway Fund

This fund provides direct financial assistance to current Hampshire students and students who transferred due to the closure. They are currently facing a number of challenges including limited campus resources and more expensive college bills.

Our goal is to support all students during this challenging transition. Your donation—no matter the size—provides immediate, tangible relief:

  • $20 – $50: Covers essential everyday food needs.
  • $100 – $250: Provides textbooks, course materials, or immediate medical prescriptions.
  • $500 – $1,000: Funds relocation costs for transfer students or provides critical technology and materials for students completing their Division III projects.
  • $2,000-$5,000: Bridges the gap for tuition bills, room and board, or emergency rent and utilities for students living off campus.

Every gift helps ensure students can focus on their education rather than their financial hardship.

This initiative is organized by Hampshire community members. It is independent, fast-moving, and focused on making sure no student's path forward is blocked by a financial obstacle they can't overcome alone, including students completing their Division III projects under extraordinarily difficult circumstances.

We are working with Sundial Initiative Inc. as our fiscal sponsor to securely receive donations and are building a process with community partners to distribute funds as quickly and fairly as possible. Your donations are tax-deductible!
