Still Not Convinced?...
Do people really donate while they are still students?
Yes! The Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø 1906 Society was inaugurated during 2006, Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø's centennial year and is Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø's student giving program. Colleges and universities all over the world employ student giving programs as a tool to give current students a way to make a difference in their alma mater's future.
I already 'give' to the University when I pay tuition and fees. Why should I give more?
Tuition accounts for just 23% of Valdosta State’s revenue. Your fees help support areas, like athletics, that neither state funding nor tuition support.
If Valdosta State is a public university, doesn't the state cover the rest of the budget?
As a part of the University System of Georgia, Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø is supported in part by the state. But, state support only contributes about 42% of the University's total revenue. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø depends on people like you to help support the University, so we may continue to grow and develop into the best that we can be.
