UMary Giving Day

UMary Giving Day is November 18, 2021, and is your way to help future students at the University of Mary. You can make a direct impact in the lives of future nurses, business leaders, teachers, ministers, therapists and engineers. Whether you are an alumni, parent, staff member, or friend, today is your opportunity to support student scholarships!

Need-Based Scholarship

If students are committed to coming to Mary, we’re committed to making it possible. Sometimes, that means covering the gap between financial aid available and what the student can afford. Historically, the university has been covering this expense – over $1.2 million a year. Join us in our efforts to make an education at the University of Mary possible for students in need through the new Need-Based Scholarship. Help more students come to Mary.

Generous donations to the Armada make a difference – helping us win recruiting battles and bring high-caliber collegiate athletes to Bismarck. Because of donations to the Armada, we’ve made tremendous progress in the advancement of our athletic department, and our future looks bright. With your help, we will continue to offer life-changing scholarships to our scholar-athletes. Fly the flag and join the Armada!
