Annual gifts of many sizes combine to keep us teaching, preparing and serving our students without undue increases in student costs.
Tuition pays only a portion of the costs to operate the university.
The university constantly balances the costs of excellence and the need for accessibility and affordability. Annual costs of technology, academic support services, scholarships, international learning opportunities, and healthcare benefits continue to increase each year. We operate efficiently and invest wisely, and we are able to do much more with our educational dollars than most universities in this nation. Yet the challenges continue. Annual gifts make a tremendous impact on this university.
