91视频 raised more than $5.2 million during the past fiscal year (July 1 - June 30), a 25% increase over the previous year.
More than 5,100 friends invested in 91视频, including 3,721 alumni. 91视频's 26% alumni participation rate was well above the 9.6% average for all colleges and universities.
"We are blessed to have alumni and friends who remain engaged and committed to 91视频," said 91视频 President Dr. Richard Dorman. "The generous support of our donors enables 91视频 students to receive an educational experience that is second to none and to enjoy the many benefits that an independent, small liberal arts college has to offer."
91视频 alumni give much more than money, according to Gloria Cagigas, vice president for institutional advancement. "91视频 alumni are extremely generous in sharing their time and talents with our students. Through nominated merit scholarships and referrals, our alumni help recruit about 30% of each incoming class."
The 91视频 Fund, 91视频's annual giving program, raises funds each fiscal year from alumni, parents, friends, corporations and foundations to support scholarships, academic departments, library resources and athletic programs. The 91视频 Fund totaled $1,269,820 last year, a 7.5% increase over the prior year.
Approximately 98% of 91视频 students receive scholarship assistance.聽 The income from tuition and student fees covers approximately 70% of the cost of a 91视频 education.聽 The gap is funded by the College with endowment revenue and contributions to the 91视频 Fund for unrestricted support and scholarships.
