Your support can mean everything for a student's success. For #CougsGive 2025, we are highlighting the College Success Foundation Achievers (CSF Achievers) program at WSU, which provides guidance, resources, and opportunities that empower high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds to fulfill their potential. WSU's achievers offer more than scholarships; we deliver integrated advising, career and leadership development, financial education, access to impactful opportunities, and a campus community that empowers students to thrive.
Your gift directly supports students by funding engagement in undergraduate research, internships, advanced educational programs, and experiential opportunities for high-achieving students who are only limited by financial barriers. When you give, you invest in the next generations of leaders.
OAE was established in 2017 with the aim of ensuring that all Cougs have the opportunity to succeed and participate in WSU’s high-impact practices and transformative experiences. Funded solely through grants and gifts from donors like you, OAE serves over 1,800 Cougs annually, providing wrap-around supports from scholarships to advising and experiential opportunities, has employed over 237 students, and transformed an underutilized historic campus space into a vibrant student service center. And we're just getting started. Join us in shaping the future of student success at WSU. Your support makes a difference.
