Sewanee Class of 2023 Senior Gift

What is the Senior Gift?

The Senior Gift is a yearly tradition at Sewanee. For generations, students have come together to support the Senior Gift. You can designate your gift to fund scholarships, internships, Sewanee's most pressing needs, athletics, the arts, or countless other programs at the University. It's easy to give to what is most important to you!

Why give? 

Do you love Sewanee and the incredible experiences you've had during your time here? Were you offered financial aid, a scholarship, or an internship stipend? Do you enjoy the exceptional work done by Sewanee's faculty and staff? The truth is that these things would not be possible without the support of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and friends. Only two-thirds of the University's operating budget comes from your tuition and fees. Without our generous donors, Sewanee would be forced to pull from its endowment and increase the cost of attendance in order to keep up. 

Will my gift make a difference? 

Without a doubt, your participation and support say far more than anything else you can do to show your commitment to Sewanee. The more alumni who give to Sewanee, the better Sewanee will look to foundations, other grant-awarding organizations, and national college ranking entities, which increases the value of your degree and allows generations of students to come to enjoy the Sewanee experience.
