Impact Scholarship

Impact Scholarships at AU

Augustana University Impact Scholarships allow students to say “yes” to the opportunity of an AU education, support them throughout their academic journey and empower them to pursue and achieve their bold aspirations.

In the face of the enrollment cliff that's shaking the higher education landscape, we’ll adapt and endure so our mission and students can, too — but we need your help. Because we’re not looking down from the cliff in fear. We’re looking up to our next adventure. The question is  — will you join us?

Let’s climb this thing together and ensure an even BOLDER FUTURE for Augustana University.

Enrollment Cliff

Enrollment Cliff

What created the cliff before us?

2008 birth rates drastically declined → fewer high school students today → increased competition among colleges and universities for high school graduates → Fewer students are choosing to pursue a college education. → There is a smaller pool of students to recruit and, of those who want to attend college, more believe they can't afford it.
