Every Gift Matters

A special thanks to those who contributed to the college this past year. The example you set for our students is important. Your generosity helps them to learn and understand giving back is an important part of their role as future alumni. Every gift really does matter.

Although UNI is a public institution with a mandate to serve the people of Iowa, the State of Iowa does not fund all of UNI’s costs. In fact, over the past 30 years, the percentage of costs funded by the state has decreased while the cost of education has risen dramatically. Today, state funding covers nearly 40 percent of the cost of a UNI undergraduate education for Iowa residents. The remainder is covered by tuition, federal grants and, most importantly, gifts from alumni and friends like you. That is why every gift matters.

To give UNI students the highest quality learning environment and ensure that a UNI education continues to be affordable, donor support has taken on an enhanced significance. With the newly renovated Schindler Education Center, we are now able to provide cutting-edge technology and flexible spaces for students to prepare to be the future leaders and educators in our nation. If you are interested in a naming opportunity for you or a loved one in the Schindler Education Center, I’d love to show you options. I encourage you to tour the facility – you will be amazed.

With the majority of UNI students relying on financial aid, your continued investment is greatly appreciated. Your gift really matters!
