$1 Million Milestone for The St. Edward’s Fund

It’s been another successful year for The St. Edward’s Fund, which has now crossed the $1 million milestone. Many thanks go to the numerous alumni who continue to support the fund — your generous contributions will make a difference by making much-needed scholarships and operating expenses available.

"Since tuition and fees cover only 70% of educating students, hitting the $1 million milestone makes a huge difference." Kippi Griffith, MBA '01, Director, Alumni and Parent Programs

As Director of Alumni and Parent Programs Kippi Griffith, MBA ’01, notes, “The fund enriches the experience of our students and allows the university to respond to new opportunities for our students.”

Further, the number of President’s Associates, those who give $1,000 or more, who contributed during 2006–2007 even exceeded last year’s record-setting results.

Giving Benefits Alumni
Don’t forget that giving to The St. Edward’s Fund can also benefit alumni. Numerous college rankings, such as U.S. News & World Report, factor in the percentage of alumni who give to the university when determining rank.
