Opening Paths to Individual Opportunity aNd Success

This campaign has concluded, but you can still learn more about Women Philanthropists for KU (WP4KU) or make a gift to support the KU Women for KU Women Fund.

The Opening Paths to Individual Opportunity aNd Success (OPTIONS) is a residential summer bridge and retention program designed to assist first generation of college students who are members of traditionally underrepresented groups, low-income students, and students underprepared for college work with the goal of assisting them with their transition from high school to KU.  The program is also designed to connect participants with campus organizations and programs that further the university strategic goal of increasing the retention rates of all KU students.

Words from our students:

• "This program was very beneficial and the information was very helpful. I enjoyed it and met a lot of people."

• "Thank you for this amazing opportunity!”

• "This program was beyond anything I expected, thank you"
