Working students often spend two to three years longer then their peers to achieve a bachelor's degree. They lose valuable time and Eastern Shore employers lose a chance to have the talented and energetic new employees needed to build and grow local business. The Shore Scholars Fund offers an affordable yet highly effective tool for keeping good students on the Shore. That's about one-eighth of the tuition at the average private school. What SSU needs is funding for scholarships.
Donors can select the fund they want to support.
