Scholarships for our undergraduate and graduate students are critical to the University’s mission and ongoing success. With your support, bright and deserving students are able to combine our distinctive curricula with real-world practice and skill development. Students build on this unique foundation to make a real difference in the world.
Scholarships provide students access to a top-tier Rochester education and an experience that shapes their lives and their future.
Thank you for the difference you have made!
For many Rochester alumni, the impact of scholarships last long after graduation.
“I once asked Marvin and Nancy why they chose me. They said, ‘you’re an immigrant kid, you came from nothing, and you did things for others, which we found admirable.’ It was a lesson for me—what goes around, comes around.”

“When you give to an endowed scholarship program, you give to something that will outlast you. You have the privilege of meeting the recipient of your philanthropy today but also know it will go on benefitting students without you.”
