Alumni Support for Rutgers

Although Rutgers is a public university, state support and student tuition and fees cover less than two-thirds of the cost of a Rutgers education. That makes alumni philanthropy essential for every student’s success. Contributions from alumni have a positive impact on the entire academic community. Their generous support allows Rutgers to maintain its position as a top-tier public research university—one that provides essential access and support to talented students and plays a vital role in our communities.

Rutgers Needs You

There are limitless ways to strengthen Rutgers. Did you receive a scholarship while you were a student? Consider making a gift to a program that helps ensure talented students can access a Rutgers education. Does sustaining our communities and our democracy inspire you? Support a program that offers public service opportunities or provides services to those in need. Can you help improve the human condition through Rutgers’ world-renowned research? Yes, you can; there are myriad ways to help fund extraordinary scientific advancements. Perhaps you want to see Rutgers’ athletic programs grow or wish to help the university’s libraries and museums so that new generations of students can explore them—all possible.

However you choose to participate, thank you for staying involved in the life of your alma mater and for helping build the Rutgers of tomorrow.
