Learn more about your impact
Your gifts to the ESSA Graduate Scholar Network Fund provide students with meaningful, justice-centered opportunities to engage directly with the communities and systems they study. ESSA scholars are preparing to address urgent environmental and social challenges, and their learning deepens when they can connect their research to real people and real places. Support for workshops, field experiences and conference participation helps students develop the interdisciplinary, community-informed perspectives needed to create equitable solutions for a rapidly changing world.
ESSA helps bridge that gap, fostering the kind of interdisciplinary thinking that’s essential for real change.”
