There are so many ways for you to give through the Annual Fund
Each time you give to the Annual Fund, you provide essential support throughout the college. Gifts to the Academic Excellence Fund support the heart of the college - learning. Gifts to the Scot Athletics Fund enhance the student experience for our athletes. Scot Scholarship Fund gifts go directly to student financial aid packages, making an Alma College education affordable to students who might not otherwise be able to become a Scot. And gifts to the Alma Fund provide the college with flexible, immediate-use resources. Your support is vital to a healthy Alma College!

Alma Fund
|
Did you know that tuition, room and board only cover 80% of Alma’s yearly expenses?
The remaining 20% is provided mostly through philanthropy. A gift to the Alma Fund provides flexible, immediate-use resources for emergency financial assistance, campus safety enhancements, co-curricular programs, as well as other expenses that enrich campus life. Alma Fund dollars have the same impact as tuition dollars - they fund everything that makes Alma special.
