Helping Students in Need
Helping Students in Need
There has been a remarkable outpouring of generosity through service, faith, and financial support from the Friar family in response to the needs of Providence College students affected by the COVID-19 national health crisis.
And still, the impact that the coronavirus pandemic has had on PC students and families continues.
As a result, PC will significantly increase financial aid and emergency student support in the coming academic year — and possibly for years ahead.
Investments in blended online and in person learning options, screening and testing capabilities, new cleaning protocols, and additional health resources are critical for the well-being of the campus community.
On Friars Give, April 22, more than 2,000 members of the Friar family joined the ongoing efforts to address the critical needs of PC students. Rededicated to address immediate pandemic-related challenges, our annual giving day reaffirmed the PC community’s tradition of generosity and strength in numbers. Although the need continues, this moment of unity and love will endure in the history of Providence College.
Join the Friars Give movement with a gift to help students in need.
