When you make a gift to the Saint Mary's Annual Fund, you give dynamic young women have the chance to meet their goal of attending Saint Mary’s where they challenge themselves and their worlds. They make our world better in the process.
Scholarships and financial aid are a top priority at Saint Mary’s. Ninety-two percent of our students need financial assistance to attend Saint Mary’s and the number is growing as our students and their families continue to be impacted by economy. The College increased its financial aid budget to $18.6 million this year and we are still not meeting the need of our students.
Saint Mary’s and its students have never needed you more than we do today. And on the same note, the world has never needed Saint Mary’s more. Our communities need new ideas, new ways of thinking, and new ways of meeting the many challenges we face. In the classroom and across campus, our students are gaining an education that prepares them to offer the innovative ideas and diverse perspectives that bring real change. You make that education possible.
Meet some of our remarkable students and young graduates to see for yourself the difference your gifts are already making.
Giving – every year – makes a huge difference to Saint Mary’s College and benefits all alumnae. By making a gift each year, you help Saint Mary’s increase its national reputation which helps graduates access the best opportunities to make a difference.
The financial support of your gift, combined with a strong national reputation, helps the College recruit strong, dynamic young women who will make the most of the Saint Mary’s experience to learn, grow, and lead. They will use their education to make a difference in our communities.
And your gift helps the College leverage additional support from corporations and foundations which look at your annual gift as a measure of satisfaction with the Saint Mary’s education. Your gift shows others that Saint Mary’s is a good investment.
