Ways To Support the School of Music
From the Annual Fund to planned gifts, there are many ways to give to the School of Music, accommodating all levels of giving. The following list provides an overview of some of the ways you can contribute to the School of Music:

Annual Fund - Gifts to the Annual Fund support vital areas such as student scholarships and fellowships, guest artists, equipment and instrument purchases, music rentals and purchases, funds for student travel to conferences and competitions, and support for educational opportunities and needs as they arise.

Endowed Funds - An endowment is a financial gift that provides an income in perpetuity for a specified use. Current endowments provide annual support for our students and faculty through a variety of ways - scholarships and fellowships provide much needed financial support for our students, endowed professorships and chairs help us to attract and retain exceptional faculty members, and unrestricted support provides funds for educational opportunities and needs as they arise.
