About The Parents & Families Initiatives Gift Fund
The Parents & Families Initiatives Fund provides the Division of Student Affairs with valuable resources to support innovative programs and services that promote student learning, engagement, and success. The Parents Initiatives Fund is the annual drive for unrestricted gifts from parents that supports the University’s top priority: your children, our students. Gifts to the Parents & Families Initiatives Fund go to work immediately and support programs and activities not covered by tuition and fees—experiences that transform students and prepare them for a lifetime of success. In the past, funds have been used for: health and wellness programming, academic support/tutoring, career development, unpaid internship scholarships, alcohol-free, on-campus weekend programs, student leadership development, Alternative Breaks/Service-Learning opportunities, and parent and family resources.
