About Invest in Cougs
Invest in Cougs is an OAE initiative that supports students in persisting toward graduation through matched savings, peer mentoring, financial education, and individualized supports to alleviate financial barriers. Students have the opportunity to save $1000 and have their savings matched at 400%, to use toward their education at WSU. Along the way, we help students successfully navigate the institution, gain a sense of belonging, and engage in an academic experience unique to their passion and goals.
For more information on Invest in Cougs contact project director, Maja Gillespie.
Invest in Cougs is funded by Washington State University, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, corporate partners including BECU, and private individual donors.
BECU is a proud partner of Washington State University and Invested in Cougs.
