At Commonwealth Honors College (CHC), we provide students who are passionate about learning with the foundation and stimulus they need to create new knowledge, increase their capacity as innovative and independent thinkers, and deepen their ability to develop solutions to pressing problems.

We couldn’t do this without you! Your giving has made a profound difference for our Honors College students, but there is still so much more we can do.

Your gift to Commonwealth Honors College Community Scholarships, the CHC Student Research fund and the Emerging Scholars program provides critical financial support and provides pathways for all CHC students to fully engage in the honors experience — regardless of their financial circumstances. The impact of your philanthropic support is truly immeasurable — as it doesn’t just impact the student who receives it, but also their families, their campus experiences, and their opportunities for the future.

Please join us today as the UMass Amherst community comes together in support of UMassGives to make a gift to support Commonwealth Honors College students!

Thank you and Go Minutemen!
