ABOUT

Tuition doesn't cover the full cost of a Syracuse University education. The Fund for Syracuse, including the Annual Fund and General Scholarship Fund, bridges critical gaps, providing immediate, flexible support exactly where it's needed most.

Greatest Need gifts help us respond quickly to provide student scholarships, enhance academic programs and maintain our campus—without waiting for endowment earnings.

While our endowment provides long-term stability, it doesn’t address every current need. Your gift today directly supports students, faculty and innovative initiatives that make a Syracuse education transformative.
