Contribute to the COE David Moriah Endowment for Program Access

In mid-2019, active supporters and former COE Advisory Board Members, Julie and Jay Carter, generously provided a leadership gift to establish and launch the David Moriah Endowment for program access. Annual proceeds from the endowment provides financially disadvantaged students with assistance to cover COE course fees, promoting equal access and reducing financial barriers to participation in COE programs. 

With the help of COE’s Alumni Advisory Board the endowment continues to grow. It is our goal to guarantee equal access for all students wishing to participate in COE programs. Eliminating financial barriers for all students receiving financial aid entails an annual cost of approximately $200,000, with an associate endowment of $5 million dollars.
