Five ways to spark student success

Sep 26, 2022

You can make bold innovation happen when you open doors to brilliant minds pushing the boundaries of what is possible, such as developing sustainable cities, creating the next generation of vaccines, advancing social justice in the child welfare system, and so much more.

Annual donors can help broaden access to education. That is the awe-inspiring power of philanthropy. Please give to the University of Toronto today: open more opportunities for students ready to take on the world’s greatest challenges.

1. Help student refugees build new lives at U of T

Navigating life as a refugee in Canada is not easy. You can help refugees studying at Innis College achieve their educational goals so they can follow their life’s ambition.

2. Support students from non-traditional paths in accessing U of T

Not everyone follows the same route to university, but changemakers can come from unexpected paths—when given the opportunity.

3. Be of service to underrepresented students becoming public health leaders

You have the power to help high-school students from underrepresented communities see futures for themselves as leaders in the public health and health-care system.
