Your Annual Gift Makes UMR Unique  

With its interdisciplinary, modular courses; state-of-the-art learning design studios; steady support, immediate intervention and continuous assessment of students; and capstone projects which engage students in the community, UMR is unique! Annual giving supports students’ living and learning experiences every day whether they’re interacting in the classroom, researching projects in the resource center or interviewing for their first internship or capstone experience.  

Your Annual Gift Makes UMR Accessible  

Tuition and fees alone do not cover the full cost of educating a student at UMR. Scholarships and program support provided by annual fund gifts help us attract and keep bright, talented students. 

Your Annual Gift Makes UMR Personal  

Each person has a unique reason for supporting UMR. All of us carry our own special aspirations for UMR and its current students. Every year, every gift, of every size truly makes a difference.
