Syracuse University Campaign Rakes in $110 Million in First Year

Last month, SU launched the Syracuse Responds Initiative, which has a goal of raising $2 million by today for student financial aid.

"We have a final push that is on this week to reach out and try to fulfill as much as we can," Sischo said.

That campaign was at $830,000 as of Monday and helped more than 350 students who asked the university for more financial aid so they could continue their studies at SU, Sischo said.
