Fund for Educational Psychology Graduate Student Research
As we embark on the 2025 One Ball State Day fundraising effort, the Department of Educational Psychology remains steadfast in our commitment to supporting those most affected by the ongoing challenges brought about by the pandemic and societal shifts
– our graduate students!
This year, we focus on supporting our students in their scholarly pursuits. Your generous donations will directly support essential activities such as travel to present their work at conferences, organizing symposiums, and facilitating orientation activities. By alleviating financial barriers, your support today will empower the next generation of scholars and clinicians to achieve their aspirations.
In each of the last two years, the fund has continued to grow appreciably through One Ball State Day contributions – primarily from relatively small gifts from alums and friends of the department.
Many people think that these funds are made out of large gifts only – when in reality, the success of One Ball State Day is the number of small donations offered by recent alumni. Could you help us achieve our goal?
If you cannot support us with a financial contribution – please help us by making this critical effort known to others!
