Support the Program

The Hope-Western Prison Education Program is free for incarcerated students, so outside funding is crucial to begin changing the lives of these men.

“I have been incarcerated since I was in 11th grade. I have wanted to attend college all my life, but have never had the opportunity. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.” —Student, 2019

We Need your Financial Help

Students are not charged to enroll in The Hope-Western Prison Education Program. Though the program has the support of both institutions’ senior leadership, dozens of faculty allies and the Michigan Department of Corrections, it needs funding to continue transforming the lives of men incarcerated in the Muskegon Correctional Facility.
