GIVING INITIATIVES

In the classroom. On the playing field. Out in the community and the workplace. Gifts of any size have a lasting impact on Roosevelt students, wherever their education takes them. You can help support student success today through one of Roosevelt’s mission-driven funds.

Annual Fund for Student Success

Gifts to the Annual Fund fuel the day-to-day work of Roosevelt colleges and programs. The unrestricted fund gives Roosevelt the flexibility to address the most urgent needs on campus.

institution-funded financial assistance.
