Dean's Finish Line Initiative

Each year, public health students who are close to finishing their degree and eager to serve their communities are stopped short of graduation due to unforseen financial challenges. The Finish Line Initiative fund fills that gap so students can graduate and bring their skills to the workplace.

Your gift to the Zuckerman College of Public Health enables students to complete their educational journey and give back to the communities they love. These students have completed their courses and internships, and have earned their degree, but find themselves with account balances that prevent them from graduating. In most cases, the amounts owed are small, between $200 - $1500.

With your contribution to the Dean’s Finish Line Initiative, you’ll help these determined students cross the graduation stage and receive their degree. Your support takes these public health students “over the finish line” to make a lasting impact on the health and safety of our communities in Arizona and around the world—thank you!
