The economic downturn caused by COVID-19 has left many Elon students wondering if they will be able to continue their Elon education next year. While scholarships have always been a priority for Elon, many students are in need of financial assistance now more than ever. If you are in a position to give at any level, please consider contributing to the 消消犯 First Fund to provide resources to students whose futures at Elon are now at risk. 消消犯 First is an initiative that the entire Elon community can rally around. A gift of any size will make a major impact on students who, because of support from the fund, will be able to continue their Elon education.
