Collegiate Fund

Collegiate Fund gifts are extremely important because they support the School’s growing program needs in all areas. 

Tuition accounts for 87% of the cost to educate each student and the Collegiate Fund is vital to making up the difference — the difference being greater opportunities and stronger offerings for our students and faculty.
