Nazareth Fund

Once again, it’s Phonathon time!  Our students will be calling you between September 14 and October 16, asking you for your contribution to the Nazareth Fund. Did you know that tuition provides only 75% of what it costs to educate each student at Nazareth?  Your support of the Nazareth Fund is needed to help make up the difference.  Gifts of all sizes have a profound impact.

The Nazareth Fund assists the college in carrying out its mission, academic vision and support of the community. Read below how your gift makes a difference to students and faculty and learn why alumni and friends are excited to give back to Nazareth.

Scholarships and Financial Assistance

"When I was a child growing up in Tanzania, I dreamed of going to college. But I never thought I'd have the chance. Nazareth offered me a wonderful financial aid package that included a scholarship and student job. Graduation was the happiest day of my life."
- Shunyu Maria Nkuzi-Curry, Class of '05, Business Administration

At Nazareth, 92% of our undergraduate students receive some type of financial support. By contributing to the Nazareth Fund, you're helping students who could otherwise not afford a Nazareth education

 

Enhanced Technology

"SimMan® is a practical and educational tool. This manikin simulates a patient's symptoms, which allows nursing students to practice their diagnostic skills in the classroom. I only wish it was available when I was a student."
- Margaret Vachher, Class of '63, and husband Prehlad, donors of SimMan®

Whether it's providing wireless access across our campus or adding the latest science equipment to our classrooms, your donation will help Nazareth to remain on the leading edge of technology.

Math and Science

"While at Nazareth, I concentrated in pre-med and took a lot of science courses, which helped to prepare me for the next step — attending Chiropractic College. My Nazareth education provided me with a sound basis. Now I look forward to becoming a health care professional."
- Matt Ort, Class of '06

Your gift to the Nazareth Fund will allow the update of laboratories, classrooms and facilities with the latest equipment, helping Nazareth to continue to alleviate national shortages of highly qualified math and science teachers.

 

The Arts Center

"We're proud to support The Nazareth College Arts Center by sponsoring a show every year. The Arts Center is a wonderful community resource that offers diversified cultural and artistic events for people who live and work in the Greater Rochester area."
- Dr. and Mrs. Jacques Lipson, Donors

Each year, The Arts Center's Callahan Theater welcomes 26,000 school children and entertains more than 75,000 people. By supporting the Nazareth Fund, you'll help The Nazareth College Arts Center set the stage for excellence in the years to come.

Innovative Learning

"In my Intro to Psychology class, I teach the entire field of psychology in 13 weeks. By using the personal response system, I know where to focus my time. It also helps my students to study smarter and decide if they need to give extra attention to a particular area."
- David Steitz, Assistant Professor of Psychology

Nazareth College professors are constantly searching for ways to spark the imagination and stimulate students' minds. Donations to the Nazareth Fund allow us to purchase items like the PRS.

Community Service

"I consider it an honor to give back to a community that has given so generously to me. Working with a variety of individuals has taught me that every person in this world has something to offer. I set out to serve others, and received so much in return."
- Marissa G. Emple, Class of '07, Recipient of the Campus Compact Award

Over 91% of Nazareth undergraduates participate in community service. Your gift to the Nazareth Fund will make a difference in the lives of our students — and the community they serve beyond our walls — today and into the future.
