The Residential Impact Award Needs Your Help!

The Residential Impact Award is a student-sponsored endowment that is being established to fund an emerging student leader that lives on campus and wants to continue to live on campus but otherwise would not be able to without assistance.

Started by the 2020-2021 RHA Executive Board, the goal is to establish an annual $1,000 scholarship that would help offset living costs for students to continue to live on campus and further their leadership development and experiential learning opportunities.
