About



Your generous donation to Diversity Scholarships at Brandeis will help further diversify the voices in our classrooms and on campus. By targeting your gift to any of these scholarship programs, you'll help open doors of opportunity to all at Brandeis and ensure our community is as diverse and representative as the world our graduates are called to serve.

These scholarships are all the more critical due to the pandemic, which has had a devastating effect on so many families' economic fortunes. Support any of the scholarships below and when we reach 48 donors to Diversity Scholarships, it will unlock an additional $15,000.

  • The Minority Alumni Scholarship
  • The Myra Kraft Achievers Program Scholarship (formerly MKTYP)
  • The Diversity, Excellence, and Inclusion Scholarship
  • The Dr. Martin Luther King Scholarship
  • The Posse Scholarship Fund

Today's the Day to Support the Class of 2029!

Today begins our 48-hour giving challenge to support the future Brandeis Class of 2029 — and we need your help.

Right now, high school seniors across the country are deciding where to call home for the next four years, just like you once did. You made your choice — and now you can help them make theirs. Your gift to scholarships makes a Brandeis education accessible for more students. 

And here’s the exciting part:

If 250 donors give to scholarships by tomorrow, May 1, it will unlock an additional $25,000 to further support the incoming Class of 2029 thanks to Stevie Rachmuth ’14.

Gifts of all sizes make a difference and help us reach our goal of 250 donors. Let’s make Brandeis home for the next generation. Thank you for supporting our students.
