Welcome to ACI’s Virtual Benefit Reception!
May 1, 2020
We’re pleased to welcome you as we honor students, presidents and ACI’s 27 member colleges and universities, and raise funds for ACI scholarships and programs to help improve college graduation rates and build a talent pipeline to drive Illinois’ economic future.
Your generous support is needed now more than ever to prepare ACI for serious challenges ahead! The COVID-19 health and financial emergency has put ACI’s member colleges and universities, and the 70,000 students they serve, at risk. When students return this fall, demand for scholarships will be higher than ever before because many families – especially low- and middle-income families – have been affected. You can help by making a gift to fund ACI’s scholarships and vital programs. Every dollar you contribute goes directly to programs and scholarships supporting low-income, first-generation and students of color attending ACI member institutions.
To learn more about ACI, and how its scholarships and programs help students in need, we invite you to watch these video testimonies, featuring students, college and corporate leaders, and ACI board members.
