Annual Fund Scholars Program

As a supporter of Iona University, you can make a lasting and personal difference in the life of a student through the Iona University Annual Fund Scholars Program. Iona University is a caring academic community, inspired by the legacy of Blessed Edmund Rice and the Christian Brothers, which embodies opportunity, justice, and the liberating power of education. However, access to higher education is becoming increasingly difficult for students and their families.

In order to continue to make an Iona education available to qualified students, regardless of their socioeconomic status, the University has made financial aid one of its highest priorities.

Your gift to the Annual Fund Scholars Program will provide a student with direct financial support toward her/his/their annual tuition.

Make a Gift

To make a difference in a student’s life, we ask for a minimum yearly contribution, and we invite you to pledge your support for four years, providing a full commitment to a student’s education.

• $2,500 per year as a Cornelia Sponsor
• $5,000 per year as a Loftus Sponsor

100% of your Annual Fund scholar gift will support current students in the fiscal year in which it is given. The scholarship, therefore, is a gift with immediate impact.

You will receive recognition as a leadership Annual Fund donor, as well as the knowledge that you are making the “Iona Experience,” with its abundant opportunities for academic and personal growth, possible for a current student.
