Parent and Family Giving

Gifts from Vassar parents and families make a meaningful difference in sustaining programs that enrich the experience of current students at the College.

Whether supporting financial aid, career education, student-faculty research, or opportunities that foster connection and belonging, family philanthropy helps ensure that students have access to the resources and experiences that make a Vassar education distinctive.

Each year, families of graduating seniors come together to create a lasting legacy for future Vassar students through the Senior Class Scholarship Fund. Your gift helps make a Vassar education possible for students who will follow, extending your family’s connection to the College for years to come. To learn more or make a gift, visit the Senior Class Scholarship Fund page.

Dear fellow Vassar Families,

As volunteer Chairs of Parent and Family Giving, we welcome parents to the Vassar community. In witnessing our own childrens’ college journeys, we’ve experienced first-hand the intellectual and personal growth that transforms the students who attend this extraordinary college. Because of this, when asked to serve as Chairs, we jumped at the opportunity to play a direct role in supporting Vassar’s parent and family program.

Each year, generous gifts from Vassar’s family supporters are used to offset the gap between tuition revenues and the full cost of a Vassar education. This year, we hope you will consider joining in this tradition by making your own gift to the College. Gifts of every size make a direct impact on our students, and enable Vassar to remain on the cutting-edge of educational excellence.

We are delighted you are part of the Vassar Community! Best wishes for a terrific academic year!
