SLAM

What is SLAM?

SLAM (Students Leaving A Mark) is a new and exciting program to educate seniors about the importance of giving back to Niagara, no matter the amount. All of the gifts that are received through SLAM will go directly to student scholarships.

Why is it important?

SLAM is important because it educates our students about the importance of philanthropy. So many times students say that their tuition is already high or that they will consider giving back once they have graduated and paid back their student loans. SLAM teaches students that their tuition could actually be higher if it were not for private donors and shows them that even the smallest gift could go a long way. SLAM gives our students the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of current and future Niagara students.

What is SLAM's goal?

The goal of SLAM is to instill in our students the importance of philanthropy and to give them an opportunity to give back to Niagara before they graduate. The hope is that if they are educated as students, they will continue to give back to Niagara for years to come.

How do I, as a student, benefit?

Your gift will increase our donor participation, which will enable Niagara to achieve a higher national ranking. That higher ranking will increase the value of your degree and attract more corporate and foundation gifts. Leave your mark before you graduate! Students helping students. It's that simple.
