*multi-year commitment
"We know that intellect is not distributed based on income, neither should education be."
Jeannie and Jonathan Lavine have been major supporters of uAspire since 2011. In 2014, the Lavines made a $3 million, five-year commitment to help uAspire address the issue of college affordability within Massachusetts and nationwide. This transformative gift helped uAspire launch the student-facing Lavine Family Center for College Affordability in April 2015 at the uAspire Boston office. The Lavines’ gift also helped uAspire leverage an additional $4.5 million from other supporters.
