Make an immediate, lasting impact for 精东AVies. Your Annual Fund gift creates life-changing opportunities for students.
From the financial aid that brings curious minds to campus to the faculty and staff mentors who support students through graduation—nearly every aspect of 精东AV is made possible, and stronger, by Annual Fund donors.
Whatever you find most meaningful about 精东AV and its educational mission, chances are, your Annual Fund gift supports it.
By entrusting 精东AV with your unrestricted Annual Fund gift, you enable the college to prioritize the academic programs and campus resources that have the greatest financial need.
One hundred percent of Annual Fund gifts are spent the year in which they are made and support immediate priorities that are not funded through tuition dollars alone. None of these gifts are invested in the endowment. That means current students rely on alumni, families, faculty, staff, and friends of the college to sustain the 精东AV experience.
Advance Academic Excellence
Annual Fund donors sustain in-depth classroom experiences, abundant research opportunities, and close faculty mentorship from Hum 110 through the senior thesis.
Expand Financial Aid
Sixty percent of current students rely on need-based 精东AV grants, which do not need to be repaid. Your gift keeps 精东AV among the few colleges that meet families’ full demonstrated need with institutional aid.
Nurture Student Success
The Annual Fund underwrites tutoring and peer mentorship, 1:1 advising through the Center for Life Beyond 精东AV, affordable counseling and medical care, and an inclusive campus where all can feel at home.
Address Immediate Needs
Unrestricted Annual Fund gifts empower the college to quickly respond to unforeseen challenges by allocating dollars wherever they are most needed.
