Student Success Locker receives $15,000 grant to expand access to free school supplies

November 12, 2026

Georgia Southern staff members stand at the Student Success Locker locations on each campus.

A $15,000 Liaison IMPACT Grant will keep free school supplies flowing to Georgia Southern University students through the three existing Student Success Locker locations and establish a fourth Locker location at the East Georgia Campus.

Launched in spring 2025 by the Academic Success Center, the Student Success Lockers provide students with access to essential school supplies such as notebooks, Scantrons, blue books, pencils, whiteboards and more. Directly supporting student success, the program ensures students have access to materials they need to actively participate and succeed in their courses.

The Student Success Locker previously relied entirely on donations from faculty, staff and friends of the University to stock its shelves. Their generosity helped establish the program, and the grant now provides additional resources to sustain and expand access to free school supplies.

Caysi Warren, director of the Academic Success Center, secured the funding through Liaison’s IMPACT Grant program. Liaison, a higher education technology company, offers the employee-funded grant to support students’ experiences and outcomes.

Terika Williams, an academic success coach in the Academic Success Center, shared how important this resource has been for students.

“I have seen firsthand how beneficial this initiative has been in alleviating the burden our students have faced in accessing school supplies,” Williams said. “Being an awardee of the IMPACT grant has allowed the Academic Success Center to continue to sustain this great initiative and continue to be a vessel in our students’ academic journey.”

Faculty and staff are encouraged to share this resource with students. The location of each Locker includes:

Armstrong – Student Success Complex
Statesboro – Henderson Library, Suite 1303
Liberty – Liberty Center
Swainsboro – Academic Center for Excellence
