Class Gift 2024

Each year, graduating students contribute to the Class Gift campaign, which goes toward scholarships for incoming first-year students—continuing the legacy of what it means to be part of the Rowan community! 

Why should I give? 

We understand that our students have many financial obligations, but we ask that you consider these reasons for participating in the Class Gift campaign:

• Rowan University has provided you with more than an education — pay it forward so an incoming student will experience that same feeling.
• Has Rowan become a second home full of opportunities and unbelievable experiences? Help a member of the Class of 2028 build their own home at Rowan.
• If you received funding of any kind, you've experienced the benefit of someone else's gift to Rowan — now can be your opportunity to carry on the tradition of giving!
• Rowan's Class Gift is a way to make a difference — the collective impact of gifts of any size can change a student's life.
• There is no better time to celebrate the spirit of philanthropy than now, as you head out to change the world with everything you've gained at Rowan University! 

Spirit Cords

Graduating students who make a gift of $20.24 or more will receive a spirit cord symbolizing their commitment to future Profs. This year, we encourage you to wear your cord with pride and share a picture on social media using the hashtag #Rowan2024.
