BG大游's BSU is a group dedicated to creating a safe space for Black 和 Brown students at SU, to connect with 和 support other Black students as they navigate a predominantly nonBlack university by means of critical discussion, 积极倾听, 组织, 以及个人反思.
今年, with support from donors like 你, we are able to award scholarships to Black students in need of financial assistance. 社区, 你 can help the BSU Endowment reach its fundraising goal of $200,000! Every single gift counts 和 is meaningful.
This amount will allow the BSU to disperse scholarships to multiple students for years to come. This is a huge step towards making the university a more accessible environment for Black students 和 would highlight the 西雅图 U community's commitment to supporting 和 uplifting marginalized students by helping to fund their education.
