For more than 30 years, UGA seniors have made an impact on the university as they prepare to graduate. Each year, their collective $30 donations combine to improve the experiences of their peers and programs across campus, and to fund the Class Gift to a student organization. Thousands of Bulldogs have prepared the way for us—enhancing our facilities and funding our scholarships and experiences. Now it’s our turn.
You can find a fund anywhere on campus (like the School of Public and International Affairs or your academic department) and direct $20 of your gift to help it grow. The other $10 will support the Class Gift.
The donation deadline for both undergraduate and graduate students earning degrees in May, August or December 2025 is March 31, 2025.
