Bid on exclusive items and experiences while supporting students in Lawrence and the Merrimack Valley who are one emergency away from stopping out.
Auction closes on May 2 at 7:55 PM EDT. Every bid directly funds an emergency micro-grant for a student in need.
Proceeds benefit GPS Event Foundation, Inc.
Every statistic below represents a student whose future hangs in the balance. Your gift changes the outcome.
59% of students considered dropping out due to financial stress, and 57% must choose between tuition and basic needs like food. GPS intervenes before that choice becomes permanent.
41% of first-generation college students have seriously considered leaving school or are at risk of dismissal. For students in Lawrence, one emergency can end everything.
College dropouts earn 35% less than graduates over their lifetimes. A $1,500 grant today preserves roughly $1 million in future earnings.
Over 43 million Americans have some college but no credential, and only 2 to 3% ever return. GPS ensures students never become a statistic.
38% of students drop out because of finances, yet traditional aid is often too slow to help. GPS delivers funds in 3 to 5 days at the exact breaking point.
Every $15,000 supports approximately 5 students. A modest, timely investment protects years of academic effort and keeps a community's future intact.
Whether you give directly or bid in our silent auction, every contribution keeps a student in the classroom and on the path to graduation.
"One bill shouldn't decide a student's entire future. GPS Event Foundation exists so that never happens."
