Join Saint Leo Community to establish new ‘First-Generation Scholarship’
On November 29, the university community is invited to support Giving Tuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. This year, we are excited to announce a singular fundraising focus for Giving Tuesday. Your gifts will help establish a new First-Generation Scholarship for students at Saint Leo University!
We hope to create an annual tradition of supporting some of our most at-need students on Giving Tuesday and we want you, our faculty and staff, to be a part of it. First-generation college students face unique challenges, including balancing several identities, working one or multiple jobs, and managing family obligations — all while trying to get an education to further their careers.
Thanks to the Jessie Ball DuPont Fund, your gift to the First-Generation Scholarship will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $25,000. Matching-gift opportunities for this scholarship end on November 30, so please do your part and make your gift today. A donation of any size provides the resources our students need. With your support, our students can fulfill their educational dreams and positively impact our community.

If you have any questions about ways to support, please contact John Agnello, senior director of University Advancement at (352) 588-8450 or john.agnello@saintleo.edu.
