Why It Matters
Empowering Students for Success
Great things happen when the FDU community comes together. Scholarships are funded, student research is enhanced, academic programs are enriched, and students’ lives are transformed. Your gift to Fairleigh Dickinson University makes a world of difference for the schools and programs that mean the most to you.
Many of our students would not have access to an FDU education were it not for private support. In fact, 94% of our students receive some form of financial assistance. Your generosity and the generosity of others make it possible for FDU students to pursue their dreams. You help to ensure our students have access to the foundation, technology and resources to gain the knowledge and skills to succeed in their chosen careers.
Stories of Gratitude
There's no limit to the impact of a gift made to support scholarships at FDU
Ways to Give
There are so many ways you can support students and FDU. From online giving, to gifts of stocks and securities, or even a gift from your IRA. No matter how you give, your gift will help to transform a student's life.
Planned Giving
Including FDU in your estate plans allows you to share your life and legacy with our future students. A bequest, a gift of real estate, or a gift of retirement assets or life insurance are just some of the ways you can ensure your legacy at FDU.
Corporations & Foundations
Our partnerships with corporations, foundations and philanthropic organizations are essential to the University's mission. Private funds and in-kind donations support scholarships, capacity-building programs, faculty projects and research, facilities, events, and other initiatives that enrich the University.
You can transform the life of an FDU student
The challenges facing our nation have forced colleges and universities to rethink, adjust, and adapt early everything they do. At Fairleigh Dickinson University, we recognize that one of the most important things we can do is open the doors to a university education for all those seeking to expand their horizons and better their lives.
The question is simple but so very important: If not now, when?
We know that our alumni and friends have big hearts. We have seen it in the success of One University Many Dreams. This year, however, with students facing unprecedented financial burdens, we must be laser-focused on securing the critical scholarship support to ensure that all our students’ dreams come true.
