Attention all graduating seniors — have you made your Senior Class Gift yet?
Here’s what to know about this tradition...Giving helps future MARLINS!
Your Senior Class Gift is more than a donation — it’s a rite of passage that will help our University and future Marlins for years to come. It’s your first chance to support your alma mater and make a direct impact on and off campus. The campaign is about showing your love and appreciation for VWU by giving back and paying it forward. Commemorate your graduation and take the first step to becoming an involved alumnus; make a gift supporting annual scholarships.Your gift can be any size, but those who donate $22 or more will receive a Coastal Blue and White cord to wear at commencement and a 2022 Senior Class T-Shirt!
Note: All sales are non-refundable
Donor support provides critical support for all students at Òùµ´ÉÙ¸¾. Gifts come in all different sizes, but when added together, these gifts are able to provide resources that students use every day.
The University’s annual fund, The Excellence Fund, gives back to the University’s greatest areas of need. Gifts of any size make a difference at VWU. As a student, you benefit every day from the impact of previous gifts that provide:
- Student scholarships for on-campus learning, study away, and internship opportunities
- Academic and faculty resources which allow VWU to provide a top-notch education
- Student life opportunities including cultural and campus traditions, movies and games, a variety of performances, giveaways, outdoor recreation and more!
Making a gift is easy! When purchasing your cap and gown, select the 2022 Graduation T-Shirt and Senior Giving Cord package.
