Making one person smile can change the world, maybe not the whole world, but their world. WSU HIGH Program is doing their part in creating change in the world. Through providing homeless or precariously homeless students with the essentials they need to earn a college diploma. And although it may not change the whole world, it greatly impacts the lives of our students. Change can spark from the smallest actions.

“Our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.” - Martin Luther King Jr. With an estimated 58,000 homeless students on campuses nationwide, the Wayne State University HIGH (Helping Individuals Go Higher) Program is dedicated to helping homeless, precariously housed, or in-need students earn their degree. This summer we are working together to help individuals overcome adversity and find support in their community. The HIGH Program wants all students to feel like they have a home here at WSU. And with the help of many charitable donations and a team of volunteers we are able to provide housing support, textbooks, other school supplies, clothing, transportation, and child-care assistance to those students in need.
