| Aquinas Fund - The Alumni Difference |
|
Over 2,700 alumni believe in the difference an Aquinas education makes. For many alumni, it was scholarship assistance that made an Aquinas College education possible. With a sense of gratitude, our alumni are moved to give year-after-year to the Aquinas Fund. |

| Reunion Scholar Opportunity |
Beginning this year, for every $1,500 that is raised by a reunion class, a Reunion Scholar will be named and awarded the tuition assistance in the name of their class. That student will become a Reunion Scholar in the name of the class who made it possible. We hope that you’ll help by donating to our class reunion, the Class Reunion Gift Campaign. No gift is too small! And your participation is extremely important!
We all remember some aspect of our college days and class reunions offer a great time to reflect on who we were then and to discover who we've become. Whether it’s 5, 10, 15, 20, or more years since you’ve attended Aquinas, join your class in helping a deserving student follow in the footsteps of Saints. |

| New/Renewed Donor Alert! |

| Alumni Giving Rates |
| The Aquinas Fund's Alumni Giving is at approximately 14%, with a five-year goal of 20%. Our benchmark schools have achieved up to 31% and higher. Absolutely any gift, large or small, affects this percentage -- even a $5 gift. If each Alumni were to step up and make a single gift to the Aquinas Fund each year, our Alumni Giving Rate could be at 100%! Imagine the impact that could have on student scholarships! |

| Class Giving Competition |
| Step up! Put on your game face. |
| |
| Most people enjoy friendly competition, particularly if it’s for a good cause. Albion is number one in Michigan with approximately 51% of their alumni contributing. We have grown significantly over the past few years and many of our classes now enjoy over 30% participation - yet Aquinas could easily be the best in the state with your help. Here is the deal: we need you and your fellow alumni to donate! |
| |
| And the good news is... ANY amount will help us. Why is your involvement important? Because alumni participation impacts our national ratings and more importantly because current students on scholarship are assisted by your donation. The power of one is YOU. You make the difference. |

Your gift makes all the difference in the world. Invest in the Aquinas Fund today! |
