Private philanthropy makes the difference in students’ education.

Throughout the 2024-2025 academic year, donor generosity—alongside federal, state, and institutional support—helped thousands of students access an exceptional education at the U. Together, we awarded more than $127 million in scholarships and grant aid, supporting nearly two-thirds of all undergraduates across campus. The figures below reflect the scale and reach of that impact—and the powerful difference private philanthropy makes. As scholarship need continues to grow, we look forward to our continued partnership as we inspire future generations to seek out new peaks and climb even higher.
