UMassGives 2026

For 31 years, the Cape Cod Alumni Network has proudly supported local students heading to UMass Amherst—and together, we’ve awarded more than $400,000 in scholarships to Cape Cod’s next generation of leaders.
This year, we’re excited to continue that tradition by awarding eight $3,000 scholarships and one $4,000 scholarship!
As an all‑volunteer group, every dollar you give goes directly to student scholarships. Your gift—no matter the size—moves us closer to our goal and inspires others to join in.
Help Us Reach Our $6,500 Goal!
Your support today shows incoming UMass Amherst students from Cape Cod that their community believes in their dreams. Join the energy of UMassGives, make your gift, and help us cheer on these incredible students. Consider making your gift during the 10-11 am Power Hour on April 29, when the group with the most individual donations will will an additional $2000!
And don’t forget—share the excitement on social media to help spread the word!
From all of us on Cape Cod: thank you for making a difference.

As a result of financial aid, I was able to pursue higher education with more confidence and explore internship and volunteer opportunities that will further my career success without the burden of paying off student debt." — Hailey Fink '28, Barnstable, MA
