MANSFIELD, Pa. – Mansfield University will participate in GivingTuesday, the world’s biggest day of philanthropy, on Tuesday, Nov. 30 to cultivate support for student scholarships.
Mansfield’s
participation in the global generosity movement will provide a platform
for alumni, stakeholders, and community members to support Mansfield
University students through academic and athletic scholarships.
“Donor
support by way of student scholarships is a vital step to ensuring
Mansfield remains accessible and affordable to students in the
Commonwealth and across the globe,” said Director of Alumni Affairs
& Advancement Casey Wood. “The
primary need across all institutions of higher education remains
constant, and that’s the need to grow scholarship dollars.
“Together, we have the opportunity on GivingTuesday
to make a tremendous impact on our student scholarship portfolio. The
greater our scholarship portfolio, the more students we can serve and
the more competitive we become. The equation is about as simple as it
gets.”
In 2020, the university realized a 93% increase in the number of donors who participated in GivingTuesday, with an impressive 165% increase in total dollars raised year-over-year.
“Anytime
we can reduce the cost of education through generous donor support,
it’s a win for our students,” said Provost and Chief Operating Officer
Dr. John Ulrich.
To support Mansfield University students this GivingTuesday, visit give.mansfield.edu.
Support
can also be extended over the phone at (888) 305-6505 or by mail to the
Office of Alumni Affairs & Advancement, 31 S. Academy St.,
