I would anonymously establish a scholarship fund at the university and graduate school I attended to fund seniors who have run out of money. An anonymous donor awarded me $500 in my senior year. That allowed me to graduate and go onto the graduate school I had been accepted to. That $500 cash award allowed me to eat for 3 months. Had that not happened, I might have been forced to drop out and my future would have taken a wildly different path.
