UMassGives 2022 Thank You!
Help Waive ECO Application Costs for Incoming Fall 2022 Applicants!
The Department of Environmental Conservation is asking for your help during UMassGives to raise funds to cover the costs of graduate school application fees for diverse applicants to our programs.
Graduate school application fees can be prohibitive for low-income applicants, both domestic and International. ECO aims to equitably and justly recruit and support diverse and talented graduate students regardless of their income. By supporting application fees, we aim to remove barriers and increase diversity in the applicant pool. This will create opportunities for all interested and qualified students. We need your help to support these deserving students in need for our 2022-2023 admissions cycle!
We are hoping to raise at least $1,500 and gifts from our community of alumni, friends, faculty, parents, staff, and students will help us get there.
Please join us in this important effort and inspire the generosity of others by sharing on social media! Thank you!
