Boundless Opportunity Scholarships support non-traditional students such as adult learners, GED recipients, former foster care youth, former juvenile justice youth, veterans, and students participating in ROTC on campus.

The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative delivers principle-based ethics education and reinforces the value of ethical business and personal conduct. Each of the Ethics Initiative's eight components utilizes a specific approach to reach its target audience.
