💛🖤 PLU’s 13th Annual Bjug Day of Giving 🖤💛
October 13-14
Join us for the special PLU tradition where Lutes from around the world come together in support of students, programs, and the mission we all believe in — and love! 💛
Now more than ever, your support is essential to help PLU students thrive.
State financial aid cuts have left a gap for students, and over 97% of PLU students receive some form of financial aid. As more students face growing financial barriers, philanthropy will play an even greater role in ensuring a PLU education remains within reach.
The $ for $ scholarship match is LIVE!
Thanks to a generous group of donors, when you give to what you love, your gift can be matched dollar-for-dollar toward student scholarships. Keep an eye out for more match opportunities throughout Bjug Day!
Together, let's raise $1,300,000 for Lutes to have the opportunity to thrive.
At a time when many students are facing increased financial uncertainty, your gift (and every matched dollar!) will help provide stability and support.
Right now, your support for students is more meaningful than ever. State financial aid cuts are creating real challenges for students. Make your Bjug Day gift by October 14 to keep the promise of a PLU education within reach 💛🖤
Can't decide where to direct your gift? There's a lot to love this year! Whichever part of campus you choose, you’ll be supporting students and their experiences at PLU.
