Why should you give to your Senior Class gift? Here are a few reasons:
- 99% of students at IC receive a scholarship that is made possible by gifts to the IC Fund.
- Most likely, you are one of these 99%
- Students and alumni who give to Illinois College enhances the reputation of IC, thereby making your degree more valuable.
- You can give your gift in support of ANYTHING on campus. You can also make your gift in honor of a professor, staff member or someone else who positively influenced you during your time on the Hilltop.
WHAT IS THE IC FUND?
The IC Fund is the College's unrestricted fund that makes an immediate impact on campus. From academics to Study Abroad opportunities, to student-faculty collaborative research to scholarships, the IC Fund touches each and every student, faculty and staff member on Illinois College's campus.
I PAY A LOT IN TUITION. ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?
Unfortunately, tuition only covers a portion of your student experience on campus. A total of 99 percent of students on the Hilltop receive financial aid and scholarship money, a large majority of that tuition support comes from the IC Fund.
I DON'T HAVE MUCH MONEY, I DON'T THINK I CAN GIVE.
That's OK! Any gift- no matter the amount- counts toward your class' giving percentage and is appreciated by Illinois College. The best time to make is difference is today.
