Ìý
I work at òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ, why should I also give money to the University?
Gifts to òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ have a powerful effect on the University’s ability to remain a top tier institution. It is hard to ask the community to support òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ if we don’t believe in our work enough to invest in it ourselves. Corporations and foundations look for high level of support from our faculty and staff when making funding decisions, as well.
Note: University of òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and all gifts are tax-deductible.

Student’s pay tuition.Ìý Why does òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ need charitable support?
It may be surprising, but tuition covers only 73% of the actual cost of a òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ education. Gifts to òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ help cover some of the remaining cost. You might think of donations as silent scholarships provided by generations of òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ alumni, parents and friends, even those who pay full tuition have benefited.
