| Aquinas Fund - A Worthwhile Investment |

| |
| A Message from the Aquinas Fund Campaign Co-Chairs |
|
Giving to the Aquinas Fund makes cents and one dollar is only one dollar until you add another to it. In other words, small gifts are just as important to the Aquinas Fund as large donations. They add up together to make a difference in today's students lives.
|
| |
|
If all of us who have already benefitted from our Aquinas education just participate, we are a huge force creating a tradition of support that enables our College to assure a great future for today's students and those for many generations to come.
|
| |
|
Any size donation is appreciated. If you haven't had the time or means to help in the past, a good place to begin is giving $5.00 for every year since you have graduated. Whether you graduated 20 years ago or last year, please participate. Your gifts also help to renew and sustain the Aquinas Fund, keeping the real tuition costs down for all students.

| Each year, Aquinas awards nearly $10 million in merit and need-based scholarships to bright and worthy students who wish to attend the College. The Aquinas Fund is the primary, on-going funding source for these scholarships. It is financed through generous gifts from alumni, friends, foundations, and corporate donors who believe strongly in the power of an excellent education. |
