Supporting student flourishing means helping them become thinkers and doers who value teamwork. It means creating an inclusive environment where Emory's diverse student body feels at home and can focus on what matters: strengthening values, developing skills, preparing for advanced and professional studies, and pursuing careers. Success empowers students to contribute to the world.

Student flourishing is about being intentional in how we prepare our students for both professional achievement and success in life—providing resources and creating space that allow students to find their purpose through critical thinking and self-reflection.  - PROVOST RAVI BELLAMKONDA

The Impact of Your Gift

To support Emory’s bicentennial vision of student flourishing, 2O36 highlights giving opportunities for scholarships and student programs. 

• School-specific scholarships replace student loans in Emory financial aid packages, ensuring that talented students with financial need can graduate debt free.
• Student Flourishing Fund supports the four dimensions of the student journey: academic experience, professional pathways, purpose and meaning, and community and well-being. Directed by Provost Ravi Bellamkonda, funding for student flourishing reaches across campus from foundational support of our undergraduate schools to experiential learning and career discernment via the new Pathways Center, and touches campus life’s renewed commitment to student wellness and a culture of community and belonging buttressed by reflection and ethics through the Emory Purpose Project.
• The Campus Life Student Experience Fund strengthens community-building and class-year traditions that deepen student and alumni engagement with our university. 
• Emory University Student Hardship Fund provides life-changing financial assistance to undergraduate and graduate students in need due to a crisis or catastrophic event. The fund is administered by the Office of Financial Aid in collaboration with student leaders.
