Since 1996, graduating seniors have made it a tradition to support the Class Gift Fund, one of Northeastern’s largest scholarship funds.
The Northeastern tradition is that graduates make a parting gift that leaves behind a lasting impact and gives other students the opportunity to succeed. Last year we asked for a gift of $20.18 to commemorate the Class of 2018. No matter the size of your contribution, the Class Gift is special because it is for students, from students.
The Class of 2018 raised an all-time high of over $6,600 for student scholarships. The goal for the Class of 2019 will be to raise $7,000. Class of 2019 graduates are encouraged to donate $20.19 to commemorate their graduation year.
Commemorate your graduation and support a special fund that is for students, from students. Leave your legacy as the largest giving graduating class.
