 President Dan Garvey says:
"Prescott College, is heavily invested in the future - we set out to teach ways for our students to change not only their lives, but also the world. We want to help insure that any students willing to dedicate themselves to serving the common good can attend Prescott College, regardless of their ability to pay".
Our Annual Fund therefore has been changed into the Annual Scholarship Fund. Every dollar donated will directly finance the education of a Prescott College student. Our $300,000 goal will assist the 70% of students currently in need of financial aid to receive a Prescott College education without the crushing debt facing many college graduates.
Please contribute to our Annual Scholarship Fund knowing that the students you help are coming to Prescott College to make the world better for all of us.
Why Prescott College?
- Princeton Review gave Prescott College the highest academic rating in the state of Arizona.
- Prescott College was recently featured in Time Magazine as a “green” alternative to Harvard.
- Prescott College offers education and research opportunities around the world, and has established field stations in locations as diverse as Kino Bay, Mexico and Massailand, Kenya.
- As a member of the Ecoleague- the only college consortium in the United States dedicated to environmental learning and the active pursuit of environmental studies- the college offers students exciting opportunities to study human and natural systems from Maine to Alaska.
Why Scholarships?
- 70% of Prescott College students receive financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants and federal and private loans.
- This fiscal year the college will award four times more funding in the form of private and federal loans than in grants and scholarships. This is despite increasing support for grants and scholarships by 96% in the past two years.
Our students work to make the world a better place. Help us reach our $300,000 goal by making your gift to the Annual Scholarship Fund today!
What are
the dates of Prescott College's Fiscal Year?
The Prescott College fiscal year begins on July 1 of each
year and closes on June 30.
Can I Specify
How My Gift Will be Spent?
Yes! If there is a specific program or activity that you would
like to support with your gift, please make a note of this
when you make your gift. However, unrestricted gifts are always
greatly appreciated; they provide the College freedom to direct
your support to the budget priorities outlined for the fiscal
year.
I really can't afford a $100 gift right now, is there another way I can give to Prescott College?
Monthly giving options are now available through our Giving website. You may break a $100 gift into 10 or even 20 monthly or biweekly payments
and have it come from either your checking account or credit card. Gifts of any size can be broken into as many payments as desired.
Why is Alumni
Participation in the Annual Scholarship Fund Important?
In addition to the invaluable support the Annual Fund provides
for operating expenses, scholarship funds, library resources,
technology improvements, faculty development, and facilities
management, the Annual Fund is seen by many as a barometer
of the state of the College. Many foundations and other grant
making organizations consider size of the Fund and the percent
of alumni participation as a means of measuring a College's
stature and stability. College guidebooks and recruiting organizations
see the Annual Fund as an indicator of alumni satisfaction.
Alumni who support the Annual Fund at any level help support
the internal operations of the College and augment all of
the College's outreach activities.
