Why Give?
The Graduate School of Leadership and Change Needs your Support
Antioch University educates students to think critically, to act ethically and to pursue a life of engaged citizenship. With your help, we can increase scholarship dollars to assist students to attend Antioch, and we can expand student services and develop new programs. With your help, Antioch University students will have the opportunity to learn more and be more.
When you make a gift to Antioch University, your contribution will be put to work immediately-providing scholarships for current and future students, funding new programs, or creating reliable alternative sources of revenue by building the university’s endowment. The generosity of your gift will ensure ongoing support and help define our future. There are many ways to give, and each gift will have an impact on current as well as future students.

Scholarship Funds
Today, undergraduate and graduate degrees have become a necessity rather than an advantage to potential employers. As funding for education becomes increasingly unpredictable, more and more students depend on scholarships to help them pursue their dreams. Most students work at least part-time, many have family obligations, and all feel the pinch from rising prices for living expenses. A scholarship can make the difference in the ability of students to complete the degree.
By making a gift to the Scholarship Fund, you can give these students an opportunity they might not otherwise have to pursue higher education.
