Giving to Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ
Why we need your support
State funding alone cannot support the University’s sustained mission to provide access to an excellent education, and external funding from both public and private sources allows Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ to not only provide higher education pathways for deserving students, it also allows the University to continue advance discovery of public value and positively impact the health, culture, education and economy of the community we serve.
Thanks to financial support from our alumni and friends, Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ maintains one of the lowest out-of-pocket costs of any doctoral research university in the United States and is among the top 10 universities in the country for improving social mobility.
What we do here matters. Your support matters.
