Giving to ¹ú²ú´«Ã½
As parents of current students, you can see first-hand the extraordinary opportunities that ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ provides to your student's academic and broader student life. With your partnership, ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ continues to build and grow these successes.  Parent participation is a key element in this momentum.
Every gift-no matter the size-helps support the dynamic ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ community to which we all belong.  You can give to your child's school or to a specific university area that is meaningful to you and your family. Here are a few examples:
- An unrestricted gift of any size to your child's undergraduate school plays a significant role in ensuring school deans have the flexibility and resources available to provide the best education for your ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ student.
- Experience ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ provides undergraduate students, qualifying for need-based financial aid, with added resources to engage in extracurricular programs. The program's goal is to break down monetary barriers so that all students can enjoy the opportunities to live/learn/play/thrive together at ¹ú²ú´«Ã½. These programs include participation in student organizations, club sports, art and cultural experiences, service trips and many other initiatives.
- The Student Critical Support Fund helps give our students peace of mind in a time of uncertainty and demonstrates the true power and values of the ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ community. The Student Critical Support Fund supports unexpected expenses that have a direct impact on the student's academic success. Undergraduate, graduate, and professional students with demonstrated financial need are eligible for these funds. These expenses include medical and/or mental health expenses and other expenses for unexpected events that create a financial hardship (e.g., urgent airline tickets for a funeral, housing and meal costs due to a natural disaster, etc.)
Thank you for your consideration. For your convenience, ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ provides several ways for parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends to make gifts.Â
