The graduating classes of Fordham University share
in the legacy of the Senior Class Gift, a donation to the Fordham Annual
Fund. You might think that you can’t make a gift now because
you are still in school and unsure about what you are doing after graduation. However,
a gift of any size helps!
Here is why it is so important to support the 2009 Senior
Class Gift:
To enhance the value of your degree…
Did you know that the University’s ranking in U.S. News & World
Report is partly based on how many alumni make gifts to the
University? A gift of any size allows you to be counted as a participant. A
higher alumni participation rate improves Fordham’s ranking and
increases the value of your Fordham degree.
To express gratitude and appreciation…
for the friends you made at Fordham and for the education that you
received both inside and outside of the classroom.
To offer a tribute to the University…
and your professors, and show pride in a place that has been your home
for the last four years.You have benefited from the generosity of
alumni before you and now it is your turn! Every year, tuition
covers only 70 percent of the total cost to educate a student. The
remainder is covered by gifts from alumni and friends.
To support the fund that is critical to
the life of the University…
A gift to the Annual Fund helps to ensure the University’s future
reputation, provides a single opportunity to support all areas of campus
life and allows the University to respond rapidly to new opportunities
as well as meet unexpected challenges. The Annual Fund supports student
scholarships and financial aid packages, assists in upgrading technology
in the classrooms, provides funding for the recruitment and retention
of outstanding faculty and helps pay for campus renovations.
The central focus of Fordham University’s
strategic plan is to make Fordham the preeminent Catholic University
in the country by the year 2016. We can ALL help make this happen!
Your gift of any size allows Fordham to compete with other universities
in offering top quality academic and extracurricular programs and attracting
the best and brightest students.
