YOU can lead the way

Your generous gifts are a supporting pillar that sustains the drive to discover at the University of Minnesota. Today we urgently ask you to sustain the quality of our scholars – through a gift to the Presidents Club Scholars Fund.

Many students struggle to finance their education. Many bright, ambitious students must work full-time to cover school expenses, and many graduate with a crushing debt burden. Scholarships give students the freedom to tackle college and launch their careers with confidence.

Join us in our goal to support more students every year. With your help, we can offer scholarships averaging $5,000 a year to talented, deserving students across all U of M campuses.

As donors to the Presidents Club Scholars Fund, you will see and feel the difference you are making with our students today – scholar by scholar.

Thank you!

“Presidents Club members make a pivotal difference to the University of Minnesota. In so many ways, our quality is tied to your generosity. I hope we can turn to you now for a new and pressing need: direct support of deserving scholars.”

– Robert Bruininks
President, University of Minnesota
