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. Because of the response of Alumni and parents, the Wege Foundation is again offering a $250,000 challenge which will match all new gifts or the increase of gifts dollar-for-dollar.
 
Wege Match 2008-2009
Over 1,500 donors have helped to leverage the Wege Match.
Thank you for helping us receive the full match by the end of June, 2009.
 
What AQ Staff & Faculty Say About the Aquinas Fund
Nanette Clatterbuck “We are proud of our pre-teachers! They are a talented group of individuals who not only do well meeting the state standards, they are popular among our area schools with many cooperating teachers commenting that they love Aquinas student teachers. I am very honored to work with our students who are committed to making positive changes in education.”

Reunion Gift Program
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.

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.
