11 Reasons to Give to the Mount Annual Fund

1. The annual fund bridges the gap between what students pay and what it actually costs for each student’s education (nearly 22% of student cost is not covered by tuition).
2. Money received from the annual fund helps improve the quality of student life on campus, providing students with extracurricular activities as well as an excellent academic atmosphere.
3. One student educated in the Mount tradition can positively affect the lives of thousands.
4. We continue to broaden our liberal arts curriculum, recently adding majors in criminal justice and sports management, as well as a minor in environmental studies.
5. Annual gifts provide students with cooperative education, tutors and internship experience that will prepare them for today’s competitive job market.
6. Money raised by the annual fund helps recruit and retain prominent professors who challenge minds and help shape professional careers.
7. Today’s students deserve the same opportunities you had when you attended the Mount.
8. Annual gifts help the Mount stay up-to-date on technology for our students.
9. The annual fund raises money to update our library’s periodical and other resources.
10. The stronger the annual fund, the more valuable your degree becomes (businesses and corporations look to see how well universities are supported by their alums).
11.  Supporting the annual fund shows your pride in being a Mountie!
