Your support can make a significant impact! Below are descriptions of each fund option and examples of how your support can enhance the programs that GU offers its students. Green FundThis fund helps to reduce Gonzaga’s “eco pawprint” by funding campus improvements that make Gonzaga University more environmentally sound. By giving to the Green Fund, each member of the GU family can help to preserve our campus and our world for future generations of Zags. If 50 members of the senior class gave just $20, that would equal $1,000 and could: University MinistryStudents often say that going on a retreat provides one of the most important and transformational experiences of their time at Gonzaga. Your support can ensure that this experience continues so that every student who seeks to deepen their faith has the opportunity to do so. Your support of this program can make a significant difference towards the cost required for one student to attend the following retreats:
CCASL Mentoring ProgramsEvery year GU students provide 114,000 hours of student volunteer service working with at-risk youth, the disabled, the elderly and others in need within the Spokane community and around the world. If the senior class raised $3,000 for CCASL Mentoring Programs, it would allow each of the following areas an additional $300 to support each of their various projects throughout the year:
Student ActivitiesOnly part of our education and growth occurs in the classroom, the other part comes from the activities and events students are involved in around campus. Gonzaga is committed to providing students with a wide range of opportunities that create a well rounded college experience. This fund will help to fund campus wide activities such as concerts, speakers and special events for all students to enjoy such as the dynamic and empowering hip hop duo, The Blue Scholars, who recently performed on campus. Diversity ProgramsSummer BRIDGE Program (Building Relationships In Diverse Gonzaga Environments) Estimated cost per student for next year is $300, though students are only charged $50. $1,200 raised through the Senior Fund will allow for scholarship money to be provided to students who wish to participate in the BRIDGE program. LEADS Program (Leadership, Education, Academic Development and Survival Skills) $1000 would enhance the program by providing quality materials and incorporating activities for all participants. Senior Scholarship FundCore to our Jesuit mission is the belief that a Gonzaga education should be accessible to all deserving students. Admission to Gonzaga is competitive and need-blind: acceptance reflects students’ academic achievement and character, not their ability to pay. The reality is that nine out of ten students receive financial assistance. If you are a student on scholarship, then you know first-hand how much it is appreciated. To show your appreciation to those who were so generous to fund your education, pay it forward and support the Senior Scholarship Fund so others can share in the Gonzaga experience. Great Teachers Program (GTP)Continuous improvement is one of the University’s primary goals each year. However, many of the needs on campus do not have a direct source of funding. This unrestricted fund allows money to be allocated to a variety of programs and projects, based on urgency as seen by the President and his cabinet. The purpose of the fund is to make changes that will enhance and improve the Gonzaga experience. Past uses of this fund include:
