It’s time to change the conversation.
Let’s talk about value.
Value is reflected in the strong currency of the Furman degree, lifelong friendships formed, and alumni impact in communities all over the world.
Ensuring this distinctive value proposition has become more challenging than ever before.
Providing a high-quality, high-touch
college experience has a price, but we
can no longer depend so heavily on
tuition to pay the bills.
A Furman education is an investment for a lifetime.
How do we sustain our value and quality experience while minimizing the rate of tuition increases?
The big question:
It’s more than just keeping
our costs as low as possible.
It’s also seeking alternative
sources of income beyond
tuition. That is where annual
giving becomes crucial.
The answer:
Annual gifts to operations and scholarships are not about paying the light bill; instead, they fund the people and programs that
make the Furman experience complete. They take the pressure off tuition and keep Furman affordable for deserving students. And, the percentage of alumni who give each year makes a difference in Furman’s national rankings.
So this is more than giving to Furman out of a sense of duty or nostalgia.
Let’s be frank.
This is about giving For Furman—for its future, and for all
the reasons that Furman truly matters.
What will you give for?
academic excellence
student activities
research & internships
study awaystudent scholarships arts
student service athletics
campus beauty
85%
of students receive financial aid, of which
80% is covered by tuition.
73%
of research and internship funding comes from tuition dollars.
70%
of the cost for a student to attend is paid for by tuition.
Annual giving relieves the pressure on tuition to fund these people and programs.
Give to Furman? No.
Every dollar raised through annual gifts reduces Furman’s dependence on tuition to cover the operating budget. Annual gifts fund the people and programs that make
Furman a premier liberal arts university.
Give for what matters. For yourself.
Give For Furman.
