Annual Giving
Jefferson College of Graduate Studies Annual Fund provides for the college’s most immediate needs. Annual gifts from Graduate College alumni are vital in supporting scholarships, providing innovative training opportunities, conducting leading-edge research and maintaining our facilities for current and future students. Here are some examples where the Annual Fund makes a direct impact:
- Award scholarships to MS students and provide fellowship support for PhD students to help cover the cost of their stipend, tuition, and health insurance
- Create and deliver a biomedical sciences curriculum that develops the skills students need to succeed in their chosen careers
- Recruit and support dedicated faculty who give students a stimulating educational environment and provide support critical to their research endeavors
You may make a gift or pledge to the area of your choice using our secure online giving page. For more information about Annual Giving, contact Melissa Ross at (215) 955-2980 or melissa.ross@jefferson.edu.
