Overview

Mission

The association provides lodging, parking, educational, membership and fellowship opportunities to its members.

What it reported doing in 2024

The association offers and maintains a student house that is conveniently located to campus, affordable, and takes away some of the burdens that members living on their own might encounter such as paying utilities and grocery shopping. This gives our residents the opportunity to focus on their studies and career development.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
