Parents

Invaluable Support

As parents, you’re pivotal in your children’s education. Not only have you prepared them for college, you helped them choose the right institution and are providing them the support they need to succeed.

Whether your son or daughter is a new student or a graduating senior, your gift will ensure that he or she is receiving an education from one of the premier public universities, while experiencing life-changing moments and lifetime memories.

Without a doubt, the tuition support you provide is vital -- so why give more?

• because state funds pay for construction and renovation of University buildings, but philanthropic support outfits classrooms and labs with state-of-the-art equipment to give your child an edge in the work environment
• because new research centers, study-abroad programs and innovative course offerings — also supported by giving — prepare your son or daughter for an increasingly globalized society
• because these funds help to recruit and retain internationally respected faculty at the forefront of their disciplines as they create an environment capable of producing life-defining moments for Binghamton’s talented and purposeful students
• because your gifts to the Binghamton University Foundation contributed to the nearly $1.5 million in aid provided to deserving students through need-based aid, 218 merit-based scholarships, 123 awards, 19 fellowships and funding for internships and graduate travel

Nearly 1,600 parents donated more than $110,000 to the University in 2007-08 through various giving avenues. Your support is invaluable to your child’s education.
