What is the Annual Fund?

Gifts to the Annual Fund impact every single facet of life at Saint Elizabeth University. From funding scholarships and benefitting academic programming to supporting extracurricular activities and campus improvements, the Annual Fund is vital to the continued functioning of our University.

Technology

To rectify this problem, the Annual Fund was able to provide our students with 15 Mi-Fi hotspots, more than 40 laptops and several additional webcams.

Scholarship

98% of students at Saint Elizabeth University receive financial assistance and the Annual Fund helps with scholarship support. Without this assistance, many students would simply not be able to afford their education.

"I remember sitting down with my mom and not knowing how we were going to afford books or come up with the money to pay for college," says Debra Pacheco, '21. "Scholarship was like the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory Golden Ticket and I was Charlie. It's the only reason I'm in college today and SEU has honestly been a lifesaver for me."

Campus Improvements

SEU studentOur 200-acre campus is a peaceful refuge for all of our students, particularly those who come from an unstable living environment. "Prior to attending SEU, I lived in a shelter so this campus has become my home," says Jeremiah Boger, ’23. "I live here year-round, which has enabled me to better my life."

The Annual Fund works to ensure that our students always have a safe, secure and beautiful campus to live on.

"When I needed help settling my balance to register for class, the Annual Fund was able to provide me with the funds I needed. This allowed me to continue my education," Javon Fisher, '22.

In addition to your gift level recognition, become a member of the SEU Recurring Gift Club by making a recurring, monthly gift on your credit card. This status is acknowledged by the addition of a heart symbol to your society or club name, (i.e., "Pelican Club ♥").
