Together, we have strength in numbers.

Senior Class Gift

Join thousands of students before you to be part of an ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â tradition!

You have the opportunity to leave an everlasting mark with your Senior Class Gift. These gifts touch every part of campus life here at ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â. This year, the student giving project encourages students to support any area of campus they are passionate about, whether that's your college, major, sports teams, scholarships, or special initiatives like the ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â Food Pantry and Help Center and the Student Assistance Fund! Previous student giving projects include the Grant Street Park Project, the creation of the ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â Student Food Pantry, and Give to the Grove.

Seniors who make their gift of $20.24 or more will receive Philanthropy Cords to be recognized at commencement. More importantly, you will help pave the way for the success of future ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â students. When making your Senior Class Gift, be sure to mark that you would like to receive your philanthropy cords.

Why should I make my Senior Class Gift?

Students can use this time to establish their status as an alumni donor as well as ensuring the next generation of Crimson Hawks have a great future at ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â. Students should reflect on their time at ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â—did you receive a scholarship or a need-based grant, or used helpful resources on campus?

The impact of your gift can sometimes be double or triple the original amount when you give on specific days celebrated at ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â. Giving your senior gift during Giving Tuesday, Day of Giving, and during our Hawks Helping Hawks event can help you make a bigger impact on your peers.

FAQ

I already pay tuition, why should I give more?

Most Crimson Hawks don't realize that your tuition and state funds cover less than 25 percent of your ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â education. ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â is able to thrive due to private support that helps bridge the actual cost of attending ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â. Your own ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â experience has largely been supplemented by students, alumni, faculty, staff, friends, corporations, and foundations. By supporting ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â through giving back to the student giving project, your favorite program or department you are helping ensure your own ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â experience is top-notch.

Does my participation matter?

Yes! Student giving is a great way to support your peers and foster good feelings. Giving back as a student allows you to promote the philanthropic culture on our campus and improve your experiences. Some ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â students rely on the resources that are provided on campus and funded by students like you.

Does the size of my gift matter to ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â?

Every gift has the ability to make a great impact on a current or future Crimson Hawk.

 No matter the size of the gift, it still has the capability to make a huge impact on ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â students.

How does being a donor affect me?

The Fund for ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â and Student Giving programs have built up an expansive network of Crimson Hawks to provide support to all of our donors. Being a donor makes ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â a smaller and more intimate experience. Additionally, if you become a member of the ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â Leadership Society as a student (with a gift of $100 or more) you will have the opportunity to connect with other esteemed donors in the ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â Leadership Society by being invited to exclusive events.
