What is the
Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund
is the giving
jar in which
everyone helps
keep the
university
strong. This
yearly appeal to
alumni, parents
and friends
raises funds
that are
immediately used
to support many
features that
make Lock Haven
successful …
including the
improvement of
financial aid
packages,
purchasing
state-of-the-art
computer and
library
resources,
supporting
seminars,
funding
departmental
programs, and
helping to
provide the
extra funds
needed that are
not raised by
tuition. Giving
annually to the
university
allows Lock
Haven to solve
problems as they
arise and seize
unexpected
opportunities. Simply
put, every
student benefits
from the Annual
Fund.
Why should I
give to the
Annual Fund?
People give to
Lock Haven's
Annual Fund for
different
reasons. Some
give out of
affection for
their university
or because they
want LHU to
continue to grow
and become more
successful.
Others give
because they
realize that
their education
at LHU was
supported by the
Annual Fund and
they feel a duty
and desire to
support current
students.
I
am still paying
off loans. Why
should I give?
The Annual Fund
supports
financial aid
and has been a
critical part of
Lock Haven's
ability to
increase
scholarships.
Alumni benefited
from donors
before them and
today's students
benefit more.
Not everyone
makes huge
salaries after
Lock Haven. I'm
in
graduate school,
struggling to
make ends meet. How am I
supposed to
give?
Many Lock Haven
donors are not
making big
salaries. Even
those of us
without large
incomes
can spare a few
dollars a year.
Alumni support
for Lock Haven
through large
participation is
important as
well, its not
just about
giving large
gifts.
Lock
Haven already
has lots of
money and gets
support from the
State of
Pennsylvania,
why give more?
The
fact that Lock
Haven is a
member of the
PASSHE and is
therefore
supported by the
State is true,
but in fact,
financial
support from the
state has
declined over
the years.
More and more,
public
institutions
have to rely on
the generosity
of donors to
meet program
expenses,
increase
scholarships,
and fund new
initiatives.
I
want to support
specific
activities at
Lock Haven, not
just the Annual
Fund.
We hope you do
support
activities of
interest to you,
and our online
giving form
allows you to
select from a
wide variety of
programs at LHU. We hope you
will also
contribute to
the Annual Fund
because it
supports every
student and
every enterprise
at
the university.
