About

The Annual Fund for Financial Aid and Scholarships provides need-based financial aid to students and helps recruit high-achieving students of all backgrounds. With your gift, Denison can:

  • Enhance financial assistance to ensure all students can attend without incurring significant loan debt.
  • Stay committed to students of all financial backgrounds, including those from middle-income families.

A sustained focus on reducing debt changes the life trajectory of our students. Better aid packages attract top students regardless of their ability to pay and help those students succeed and finish their degrees. Graduates can buy their first home, start a family, take their dream job, or pursue an advanced degree without the burden of debt limiting their opportunities.

Make a gift today to allow current and future students to experience the value of a Denison education!
