Thank you!
June 2nd, 2020
We asked and the Dawson Community and friends of Dawson responded. The COVID-19 Student Financial Aid Fund has reached just shy of $5,000.
Special thanks to all who are participating in the Dawson Blues Band led by Vincent Maggiore (Business Administration) and everyone who donated and shared the needs of our students on social media.
The full amount will be dedicated to the Dawson Financial Aid Program. Student Services and the Dawson Foundation are working on the details of how the funds will benefit students.
More news to come in the next few weeks!
If you would like to help us reach an even $5,000 from the community and friends of Dawson, make a donation.

April 21st, 2020
Eminent Harvard professor, world-renowned psychologist and author Steven Pinker (Class of 1973) is supporting Dawson's efforts to raise funds for students in need. An estimated 1,700 Dawson students may be having trouble covering food and rent expenses.
