Transform a Student’s Life

How you can support Assumption students

  • The students of Assumption are especially thankful for the generous support of so many individuals who make an Assumption education possible.

    Every Gift Matters

    The Assumption Fund impacts every aspect of a student’s Assumption experience. Your gift will support:

    • Scholarships and financial aid
    • Undergraduate research opportunities
    • Equipment and technology
    • Performing and graphic arts
    • Athletic programs

    Your gift will mean a lot to Assumption students – and the University itself. Many corporations and foundations consider the percentage of alumni who participate in the Annual Fund as a gauge of alumni satisfaction with their alma mater. Your gift shows that you valued your Assumption experience. You are invited to make an online gift on the University’s secure online giving site.
