Your Support Will Make A Difference
for our current students and for generations to come...
What is the Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund provides essential monetary support to the meet the University's growing need for scholarships, new equipment, departmental initiatives, and a host of other resources that enhance the quality of the education we provide for each and every student. Since tuition covers only 85 percent of the actual cost of educating a student, the remaining 15 percent must come from caring individuals such as you! The CLU Annual Fund is one of the means by which alumni, students, parents and friends can most effectively support our students.
Can I choose where my dollars go?
Yes! You may direct your tax-deductible contribution to a specific department, program or college; or divide your gift to support more than one program that is dear to your heart or allow CLU to use the money where the need is greateast. You get to make the call!
