Additional Info

The O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs Greatest Need fund provides operational support for key programs and fills financial gaps for students. It can help cover expenses for events like the Capitol Hill Colloquium and provide essential funding for Washington Leadership Program students. Additionally, it can support students with unmet internship funding, study abroad costs, or scholarship needs, ensuring they can pursue transformative educational experiences.

The Greatest Need fund can also serve as a launchpad for new initiatives. In 2020, for example, it supported the inaugural Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Conference, advancing the school’s commitment to equity and representation.

With your support, this fund continues to address urgent needs and create opportunities that enrich students’ education and strengthen the O’Neill School’s impact. Every gift helps shape the future for O’Neill students and the communities they serve. Thank you for your generous support!
