Consider making your gift during the 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. Power Hour on April 27, when the area of campus with the most individual donations will win an additional $2,000.
More than 60% of UMass Amherst students qualify for need-based financial aid. Generosity from our community of alumni, students, parents, faculty, and staff is essential to keeping a UMass Amherst education open and accessible to as many qualified students as possible. We ask you to support the Cape Cod Alumni Group Scholarship during UMassGives this year. This is our 28th year of giving scholarships to Cape Cod students who will be attending UMass Amherst in the fall and during that time we have given out well over $353,000.
This year we are again committed to providing scholarships to local students with multiple $3,000 scholarships and one $4,000 scholarship to be awarded. We are an all-volunteer group, so all of the money raised goes directly to scholarships.
Hear what a few previous scholarship recipients had to say:

With your support, I've been able to attend a school that's given me a summer research experience, lifelong connections with my peers, the ability to work on a Senior Design Project with a team of engineers working to complete a "smart" technologically integrated boxing training machine, and many, many more amazing experiences. Thank you!

I love UMass! I've had experiences that have shaped me as a better person, and I finished finals with a 3.71 GPA. There is no other school I would rather be a student at, and I'm so grateful to the UMass Amherst Cape Cod Alumni Group for helping me attend UMass.
Gifts in any amount make a difference, as they add up quickly and inspire the generosity of others.
Join the excitement and make a difference. Be sure to share on social media. Thank you!
With your help, we can reach our goal of $15,000 and show our Cape Cod students just how strongly we support their aspirations at this difficult time. From all of us in Cape Cod, thank you.
