First State First Chance Fund for Higher Education
Help incarcerated individuals return to Delaware as full and contributing citizens.

About this project:

The University of Delaware’s growing prison education program serves over 75 incarcerated students in a typical year! In addition to what is already offered through Inside-Out, we are seeking to expand our support for justice-impacted people on UD’s campus, develop a pathway for justice-impacted students to access a college education in Delaware, and collaborate with other local colleges and universities to expand offerings and support for currently incarcerated students.

Prison education programs often face issues related to funding, which require creative solutions in the form of grants, donations and more. We hope you will consider donating to support this important cause.

How your support makes a difference!

Your gift will support student enrollment in college courses and for materials, like books. It takes $332.50 to fund one incarcerated student so they can receive college credit. Thank you for your gift and for sharing this project with your networks. Our prison education programs and the success of our participants are instrumental to UD’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, community and service.
