Donors can donate to the General Rio Fund to help cover wide-ranging institutional needs. These funds help with general physical expenses to campus along with other operational costs. For many of our students, the pathway to graduation can be met with many outside roadblocks. The Changing Tomorrows fund was established to provide students, who owe a small balance, the funds they need to be able to register for the following semester.
