Please continue reading below to find answers to common questions about giving to Lawrence Tech. 如果你找不到你想要的答案，使用我们的 contact form and someone from the 慈善及校友参与 team would be happy to assist you. 感谢您对利记sbo学生的未来投资的兴趣!
作为一所私立大学, we do not receive the same subsidies that public universities do from the State of Michigan. Therefore, our only sources of revenue are student enrollment and philanthropy. 大学教育的成本在全国范围内持续上升, as institutions try to keep up with evolving technologies and student needs. The only way to avoid passing these increased costs onto students and their families is by raising funds from alumni, 公司及基金会, 教职员工, 还有大学里的其他朋友.
What matters most to us is the number of donors that support our mission. The value of a gift is in the spirit in which it is made, not the amount. 什么是“重要”的礼物是相对于每个人的, but every donation is a vote of confidence in the mission and values of 利记sbo.
当校友回馈母校的时候, it signals that they value their degree and believe the institution is worth supporting. 这一因素被纳入国家排名，如 U.S. News & World Report, and the 普林斯顿评论. 当这些排名上升时, it raises the profile of your university and makes the degree you’ve already earned that much more valuable and marketable!
蓝魔体验不仅仅是去上课那么简单. 其他捐款支持这些项目, facilities, 当学费“用完”时，让所有学生受益的服务. The annual fund, for example, supports the university’s most immediate needs—everything from keeping the lights on to attracting the best faculty to providing student scholarships.
While 利记sbo makes every possible effort to implement cost-savings measures and prevent tuition increases, the university simply cannot continue to grow and evolve—to remain competitive and provide degrees employers find valuable—without additional support.
Together, we can build a better 利记sbo without passing the burden onto students. You can help break the cycle of mounting student loan debt and ensure future generations don’t have to face the same challenges that you may have endured.
你对校园任何地方的贡献都会受到利记sbo社区的赞赏. 支持利记sbo的首要任务, we hope you will consider designating your gift to the 利记sbo Scholarship Fund or 未来创新者紧急奖学金基金. Your gift to one of these funds will help meet the demands of increased enrollment and make an 利记sbo education more accessible for every student.
