Help Us Fund the Future
The Cincy Hat Foundation is proud to partner with the University of Cincinnati’s TAP (Transition & Access Pathways) program, but we can’t do it alone. Your gift—no matter the size—helps cover tuition, housing, and support services that empower these students to succeed academically and live independently.
Your support helps fund more scholarships, ease the financial burden on families, and expand access to inclusive education opportunities across the UC community.
