Giving Back to Your University

The Franklin University Excellence Fund defrays costs in every area of our operating budget to strengthen academic programs, support technology and ensure continued innovation.

By giving to the Excellence Fund, you will not only help make education possible for working adults like you - you will make an investment in the quality and reputation of your Franklin degree.

Ways of Giving

• Gifts of Cash - the most popular and simplest way to make a gift; the monies are immediately available to the University
• Gifts of Securities - donating stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares helps you avoid capital gains taxes while making a larger contribution
• Gifts by Bequest - differed gifts simply direct a portion of your estate to go to the University
• Volunteering - needed during various times of the year
  to ensure the seamless operation of our special events

Franklin maintains the lowest Undergraduate tuition of any four-year independent college in Ohio. Whatever the method and amount of your gift, your generosity will ensure that tuition remains affordable for future generations.

The Honor Roll Wall
