How to Give

Monetary gifts of cash, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), cheques and money orders are gratefully accepted.

Pledges allow you to make a commitment to the University over a period of time based on an agreed payment schedule. Payments can be made in bi-weekly, monthly or annual installments.

Your planned gift will create a legacy of support for generations of students to come, while at the same time provide positive tax benefits. Deciding what type of gift works best for you is as important as making the gift itself. Learn about your planned giving options.
