In Alvernia’s Bernardine Franciscan tradition of serving those in need and in honor of our foundresses, the Presidential Hope Fund was developed as a financial support program to assist students and families struggling to fund education during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Initially, the Fund includes amounts allocated to the University through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act as well as additional university funds. The fund will continued to be supported by fundraising activities.
