At the Purdue for Life Foundation, we are committed to protecting student privacy in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Only directory-level information—such as a student’s major, minor, concentration, and class year—is shared unless the student has given permission via a legal FERPA document. No individual other than the student can receive education records or personally identifiable information.
At Purdue, students and donors are essential partners in shaping the scholarship experience. Together, they create an environment of opportunity and growth, where everyone receives the support they need to succeed and make a meaningful impact in the world. We’re committed to fostering collaboration by offering students a safe space to share their personal stories and engage with donors in ways that feel comfortable. Students can choose to participate in advancement activities, confident that their scholarship status or eligibility for future funding will remain unaffected.
Students are true partners in scholarship stewardship. Purdue for Life regularly invites scholarship recipients to share what scholarship support means to them. While we strive to connect donors and students, there may be times when it’s not possible due to privacy concerns or logistical challenges. We’ll always make every effort to keep you informed about the impact of your gift. Students can learn more about their scholarship funding by logging into myPurdue.
