Senior Class Gift:
If you have not done so already…
What is the senior gift?
The Senior Class Gift is the first gift that the graduating senior makes to the Marist Fund. The Marist
Fund is an annual campaign that raises unrestricted funds for the College. These funds help to
support financial aid, library acquisitions, campus activities, and student services. The Senior Class
Gift Challenge allows seniors to be a part of a long tradition of giving back to Marist College.
The challenge?
The Class of 2011 has been challenged to reach the highest participation rate ever! We are doing great
already. Make sure to donate your gift today to show your gratitude towards your alma mater!
Meeting the challenge:
1. Go online at https://www.marist.edu/alumni/seniorgift/ and make your gift using
Marist Money, Visa, Discover, MasterCard, or American Express.
2. Bring your gift to the Office of College Advancement in Fontaine Hall or telephone,
575-3863 to charge your gift to your credit card or arrange pick up of your gift.
3. Watch for Senior Class Gift opportunities at our senior events!
You can make a gift of just $10, $5, or even $1 and your participation will count!
