Provided by The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI)
The Graduate Ready to Achieve Degree (GRAD) Last Mile Fund is an innovative grant program designed to provide financial support to undergraduate students nearing college graduation. The Fund is for students on track to graduate who experience an unexpected financial roadblock or emergency. Managed by The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI), the GRAD Last Mile Fund partners with 15 colleges and universities across Massachusetts to provide aid to students for unexpected expenses related to housing, food, transportation, and essential school materials such as textbooks and laptops. It can also help cover tuition, fees, and outstanding balances when students have exhausted all other sources of financial aid or when non-academic expenses prevent them from paying these costs.
