Presidential Hope Fund: Immediate Assistance for Students

A lot can happen in four years. Along the road to a college degree, students make memories that last a lifetime and may come upon the most difficult challenges they have ever faced. This fund directly supports young Pilots when life circumstances threaten their ability to stay in school. Students have received awards from this fund after experiencing parents job loss, family or personal illness, and other life-altering events.

Pilots After Dark Program Fund

Pilots After Dark - UP's late night programming series held nearly every Friday and Saturday night - is designed to provide a consistent, safe, and fun environment for students of all ages to socialize on the weekends. A favorite campus activity, each weekend more than 2,000 students attend concerts, comedy shows, trivia nights, and more. Gifts to this fund support the expansion of programming and enhancements to equipment and venue.
