Why is the unrestricted Annual Fund important? It provides funds that can be used where the need is the greatest • Academic support • Library resources • Campus Ministry • Student Programs • Financial Aid
Financial Aid Update • 78% of our students receive need-based financial aid • State budget cuts have resulted in less grant money • Endowed scholarship funds reduced by $300,000 in 2010 due to economy • Number of requests for additional financial aid from current students has tripled!
Financial Aid Update • Assumption is spending an additional $800,000 on financial aid in 2010-2011 • The Annual Fund has increased its dollar goal to support financial aid needs How will we reach this goal and increase alumni participation to 18%?
