Young alumni support
As young alumni—those who have graduated during the last 10 years—you represent the future of the University of Rochester. In fact, young alumni make up one out of every four alums who received their undergraduate degree here. Your support is essential in ensuring all future University of Rochester students have the support and resources they need.
Your gift matters
Every gift makes a difference—especially yours.
- Your investment ensures that the opportunities you had at Rochester are available for the next generation of students.
- A donation can support any part of your University of Rochester experience. Whether it’s a beloved professor’s research, scholarships for deserving students, or one of the student organizations you were a proud of member of, 100% of your donation will go to the area you choose.
- Did you know? Gifts of $25 or less last year totaled nearly $500,000, which is equivalent to 20 average financial aid packages. When we join together in giving, we can make a big impact.
- Your gift will help boost our national rankings in U.S. News and World Report.
