The Parents Fund is part of the larger Niagara Fund appeal.  The Niagara Fund is where alumni, employees, students, parents, and friends of the University come together to make a difference in the quality of education and services the University provides.  Niagara University’s success depends largely on private support from friends and alumni.  Gifts to the Niagara Fund help meet the University’s ongoing needs and support our academic mission.  These gifts are used by Niagara on a daily basis where the needs and opportunities are greatest.

Your gifts support:

• Scholarship and financial aid, which attract new, deserving students to pursue their studies
• Faculty and curriculum development to continue building NU’s legacy of providing academic excellence in the Vincentian tradition
• Technology to equip students and faculty to make important advances in all areas of study
• Utilization of new and current buildings and maintaining the physical beauty of the campus

Bridging the Tuition Gap and Beyond

Full tuition only covers only three-quarters of the actual cost of a Niagara education. The remaining 25 percent must be made up by other resources such as gifts from parents, alumni and friends of the university. The Niagara Fund is responsible for managing programs that will help to generate this necessary support.

What Is The Parents Fund?

The Parents Fund is a special gift-giving program for parents of undergraduate students. The deep interest and generous support of parents makes a significant difference in helping Niagara maintain its position as an institution which offers a quality education to a diverse and deserving student population.

How Will Your Gift Make A Difference?

Your gift will have immediate impact in the quality of education the university offers. Every gift to the Annual Fund is important because each one builds participation. Increased participation helps the university realize its dollar goals.

Every contribution helps Niagara meet obligations for essential student services such as enhanced technology, laboratory and classroom equipment, special academic programs and seminars, and faculty development. Unrestricted gifts to the Niagara Fund provide Niagara with the flexibility to respond to current needs and priorities throughout the campus. These gifts make a difference in the lives of today’s students, providing necessary resources inside and outside of the classroom.
