Give Carson Cougs an EDGE to Graduate and Lead
EDGE serves Carson Cougs with the greatest barriers—especially first-generation and low-income students—by providing the structure, support, and community that drives success.
College gets hardest in the moments students don’t always say out loud: money is tight, systems are unfamiliar, and belonging feels uncertain. EDGE steps in with coaching, accountability, and connection so talented Carson Cougs don’t lose momentum simply because the path is new.
The outcomes are clear:
- WSU’s overall graduation rate is about 66%.
- For EDGE students, it’s about 90%.
Right now, we can serve only 54 students—but with more support, we can scale this proven program to reach more Carson Cougs who are ready to thrive.
Your gift to EDGE is Cougs Helping Cougs—and it helps Carson Cougs by:
- Building the habits and academic routines that produce results
