Please find below answers to common questions about giving to Lawrence Tech. If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, use our contact form and someone from the Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement team would be happy to assist you. Thank you for your interest in investing in the future of LTU students!
As a private university, we do not receive the same subsidies that public universities do from the State of Michigan. Therefore, our only sources of revenue are student enrollment and philanthropy. The cost of a college education continues to rise nationally, as institutions try to keep up with evolving technologies and student needs. The only way to avoid passing these increased costs onto students and their families is by raising funds from alumni, corporations and foundations, faculty and staff, and other friends of the university.
What matters most to us is the number of donors that support our mission. The value of a gift is in the spirit in which it is made, not the amount. What constitutes a “significant” gift is relative to each individual, but every donation is a vote of confidence in the mission and values of Lawrence Technological University.
When alumni give back to their alma mater, it signals that they value their degree and believe the institution is worth supporting. This factors into national rankings such as U.S. News & World Report and the Princeton Review. When these rankings increase, it raises the profile of your university and makes the degree you’ve already earned that much more valuable and marketable!
While LTU makes every possible effort to implement cost-savings measures and prevent tuition increases, the university simply cannot continue to grow and evolve—to remain competitive and provide degrees employers find valuable—without additional support.
Together, we can build a better LTU without passing the burden onto students. You can help break the cycle of mounting student loan debt and ensure future generations don’t have to face the same challenges that you may have endured.
Your gift to any area on campus is appreciated by the LTU community. To support LTU’s top priorities, we hope you will consider designating your gift to the LTU Scholarship Fund or the Emergency Scholarships for Future Innovators Fund. Your gift to one of these funds will help meet the demands of increased enrollment and make an LTU education more accessible for every student.
