Supporting Hope College

Your support of Hope College helps to assure that since its founding in 1866, future generations of Hope College students will enjoy many of the same educational opportunities and Hope experience from which you benefited. Our collective contributions help to provide for an exceptional educational experience at Hope College for all students. Your support is critical to the future of Hope students and Hope College.

Tuition and fees cover 74% of the cost of a Hope education. The balance is secured from endowment generated funds and annual support (the Hope Fund). In short, every student, no matter when they attended Hope, benefited from the generosity of others who went before them- and gave back. More than 83% of Hope students receive financial support through the Hope grants assistance program- funds generated by the College’s endowment.

We, as Hope College graduates and friends, have an obligation to see that the Hope experience is provided to future generations. Please join us in supporting Hope College in one or more of the following ways:

• Contribute to the Hope Fund, on an annual basis.
  
• Participate in current capital projects needs such as buildings and campus / program enhancements.
  
• Include Hope College in your estate plan. Name Hope in your will, trust, or life insurance policy as a beneficiary. It is through these legacy contributions that Hope College has realized many generous gifts over decades.
