How can my gift make a difference in the life of a Johnnie?
Gifts to The Fund for St. John’s are put to use immediately and directed to the areas where they are most urgently needed. Tuition fees account for 70% of St. John’s annual revenues. Donations directed to The Fund for St. John’s build a bridge between tuition revenues and the actual cost of a St. John’s education, ensuring that all students, regardless of financial need, have access to a first-class liberal arts education.
Your gift of $10, $100, $1,000 or any amount can give students the opportunity to say “yes” to the academic experience of St. John’s. Here are just a few examples of what your gift, no matter how small or large can do:
