Support Seneca

Campaign for Students

The Campaign for Students is Seneca's employee giving program. As one of our largest group of donors, Seneca employees help to fund financial aid opportunities, improve Seneca’s learning environment and strengthen the student experience.

Whether our employees choose to make a personal donation, send an e-card, become a Payroll Champion, support an event or fund their own named award, they are making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.
