Can I designate my gift?
Yes. Your gift can be designated to any of the many options that are available. Some of IUP’s most popular designations include the Student Experience Fund, the Scholarship Fund and the Dean’s Innovation Funds for each of the colleges. You may also have a strong interest in one of IUP's special projects that are highlighted on Support IUP.
What are the Student Experience Fund and Dean’s Innovation Funds?
The Student Experience Fund is a general fund used to support nearly every area of the university. Funds are used to make upgrades to technology in classrooms and student study facilities to name a few. Funds from each fund are largely used to enhance the academic experience for students. Dean’s Innovation Funds are a general fund restricted to the same use, but within a designated college.
