In recognition of our foundresses and in our Bernardine Franciscan tradition of serving those in need, Alvernia created the Hope Fund to assist all students (undergraduate, graduate and adult) and families in financial need, providing the university with the flexibility and resources necessary to address student hardships as they arise.
How does the Hope Fund impact Alvernia students?
- Scholarships provide financial aid to any Alvernia student: undergrad, grad or adult learner.
- Educational Resources provide students funding for books, testing costs, accommodation and more.
- Clare’s Cupboard provides groceries and meals at our campuses.
- Emergency Aid provides support to students in times of crisis.
