For many Alray Scholars, earning a college degree is the culmination of years of hard work and the beginning of something even bigger. Graduation, however, often brings a new set of financial hurdles: the cost of a graduate school entrance exam, a professional licensing fee, a required uniform or certification. These expenses may seem small in the abstract, but for graduates who have already stretched every resource to reach this point, they can delay or derail the next step entirely. 

The Herb & Sara Drower Next Step Fund was created to change that. By providing targeted financial support to Alray graduates, the fund helps remove the barriers standing between our scholars and their career goals.
