Meet the Challenge: Support Graduate Students at U-M

President Mary Sue Coleman

The President's Donor Challenge for graduate student aid

  • Make your graduate and professional student aid gift or pledge before December 31, 2008
  • Leverage your gift in a one for two match in support of the next generation of leading doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists and teachers

Why graduate and professional student support?

  • Your gift to the Challenge equips Michigan to compete with top universities around the world for the best graduate students.
  • The scholarships you create educate a new generation of leaders, while helping Michigan attract and retain star faculty who want to teach them.

How the graduate and professional student Challenge works:

  • The Challenge will leverage your gift of up to $1 million for graduate student aid at Michigan, by contributing one dollar for every two dollars you give.
  • The program continues until $40 million in gifts have been received or the Michigan Difference campaign ends on December 31, 2008, whichever comes first.
  • Pledges must be made by December 31, 2008 to ensure a match and can be paid over a five year period (by Dec. 31, 2012).
  • The Challenge allows you to direct your gift of graduate support to a school or college of your choice.
  • The University match is placed into an endowment, so that your giving can generate valuable graduate student aid far into the future.
  • A gift of $50,000 or more will establish a named endowment, creating a legacy of support for the next generation of leaders and best.

The President's Donor Challenge is a great way to leverage your giving and build a future of brilliant educational opportunities at Michigan.
