Key Resources for Alumni

Our Alumni Fund

The Brooke Alumni Fund is designed to support our students in college with unexpected expenses, which research shows can negatively impact persistence to college graduation. Students can apply for funding for help with basic needs, unpaid balances, study abroad experiences, summer courses, or a variety of other needs.

Mental Health Services

To ensure our students in college have access to high quality mental health support, Brooke pays for every alum to use BetterHelp, an online therapy platform. We encourage all Brooke Alumni to log into the BetterHelp system and make an appointment with a licensed therapist.
