Annual Giving

Each year, Wayne State University’s alumni and friends make contributions totaling more than $3.7 million to support student scholarships and programs, academic and research agendas, and faculty initiatives. Annual gifts are essential to strengthening our ability to serve students, faculty and staff by providing financial resources for scholarships, instructional technology, laboratory equipment, innovative programs, facilities and much more.

The Department of Annual Giving works with each of Wayne State’s 13 schools and colleges to encourage you – our alumni and friends – to make or renew your commitment to the university by supporting our talented and motivated students, high quality programs and stellar faculty. When you make your annual gift, you are not only contributing to the university’s ability to change lives today, you are also helping ensure that a Wayne State education is available to future generations.

As state funding of higher education continues to decrease, your annual support is even more vital to maintaining our ability to offer students quality educational experiences at an affordable rate. Every gift matters.
