Areas of Support
The quality of the Muhlenberg experience depends on the support of alumni, parents, and friends.
A lifetime commitment to annual giving is an important component of Muhlenberg’s ability to achieve increasing prominence. The fund year for Muhlenberg College runs from July 1 – June 30. All gifts in a given fund year must be received by June 30.
The Muhlenberg Annual Fund Impacts Everything
Whatever you or your student loved most about the Muhlenberg experience — an athletic team, an academic department, a student club — was made possible because of the Muhlenberg Annual Fund.
Gifts to the Muhlenberg Annual Fund support financial aid, clubs and programs, professors and advisors.
Financial Aid
Muhlenberg students receive the best possible liberal arts education, they learn from highly skilled professors, and are able to immerse themselves in hundreds of opportunities that ensure a rich college experience and successful lives.
You can make a significant difference in the lives of students seeking the Muhlenberg experience by making an endowed or current gift to financial aid.
Endowed Gifts
Provide a permanent source of financial support for an area of the college that is personally important to you by establishing an endowed gift fund. Annual income of the invested fund is directed to your designated program or initiative. It allows you to leave an indelible mark on the lives of students who attend Muhlenberg and enhances the college’s financial strength by providing lasting benefits.
Endowed gifts support many different programs, such as:
- Scholarships — More than 90% of Muhlenberg’s students depend on financial aid.
- Student research — allowing deep learning through faculty/student collaborations, research, and scholarly presentations.
- Professorships — which help to attract and retain the very best faculty through honorary positions that are highly coveted by top educators and help to elevate the status of both a professor and the institution.
- Study Abroad — About half of Muhlenberg students study abroad.
