When You Invest in Scholarships...

You help keep the U of M affordable.
Annual undergraduate expenses at the U of M are about $17,000 for Minnesota residents. A student would have to work more than 60 hours a week to cover these costs. Compare this with 1970, when students needed to work only 24 hours to cover expenses at an average public university.

You keep talented students in Minnesota.
More than half of our students stay in the state after they graduate. They become our teachers, physicians, company founders, and community leaders. Scholarships are an investment in Minnesota.

You encourage students to do their best.
U of M students with scholarships maintain good grades, become involved in activities, and graduate on time at a rate up to 35 percent higher than other students. The U of M Scholarship Drive, which seeks to raise $150 million to increase the number of scholarships by 50 percent, is the largest in Minnesota history. Make a $50 gift to the Annual Fund or double the impact of your gift by contributing $25,000 or more for an endowed scholarship through the President's Scholarship Match.

To make a gift, use the envelope inside BIO, go to www.giving.umn.edu, or contact Ames Sheldon, CBS Development Director, at 612-624-9460 or sheldo57@umn.edu.
