Each year, loyal Shorter alumni and friends make annual fund gifts to help secure Shorter, financially and academically. How? Gifts to the Shorter Fund, no matter the amount, go directly to current student scholarships, faculty support and academic improvements. For years, these faithful gifts have made it possible for students to experience a great Shorter education. Today’s alumni and friends continue the rich heritage of giving.
Why is my support important?
Tuition and fees cover only a portion of expenses. The remainder must be raised through gift support and endowment earnings. Your support is key to helping today’s students.
What does the Shorter Fund do for students?
The Shorter Fund enhances teaching, learning and living at Shorter. This means your dollars make possible additional student scholarships, campus and academic program improvements and faculty support. All of these things enhance the Shorter experience.
Your gift helps Shorter climb in rankings.
You and other alumni and friends who show your trust and support by making frequent and generous gifts to the Shorter Fund increase our percentage of giving. This percentage is an important indicator used by corporations and foundations when making grants, and in institutional rankings, such as those in US News and World Report. Each gift to the Shorter Fund helps to maintain the value of a Shorter degree.
