Do you donate to your alma mater?

[AGDee]

I donate in the form of getting one of the University license plates. A portion of that annual payment goes to the school.

Eastern Michigan University

21 years ago, 1987

I think it's $15 a year.

When I have money, I drop $500 to $1000 in a specific endowment fund for a former professor who passed in the 1990's.

Someday, when I have Bill and Melinda Gates money, I will probably aim to have a specific fund dedicated in our (my husband's and mine's) name for off-campus housing and laboratory equipment/animal facilities. But, we would be doing that in our 60's. Also, I will be donating to another 2 HBCU's--Bethune Cookman-College and my parents Alma Mater, Fisk.

Also, someday, I will also be donating to the Dr. Richard V. Moore Center down the street from BCC and the nearby Daytona Beach Methodist Church. I will also give to my home church in San Diego and donate under a new AKA EXO perpetual trust funds for the Debutante Ball. I will also donate under a new AKA DUO African American literature Library funds.

My folks have inquired about LLC formation. I would like to develop a liaison and MOU between dental apprenticeship program to my father's office. And have my father's office to be a dental residency program at major Dental Schools during the summer. My father's office directly impacts health disparities populations.

ETA: Some our funds will go to my IL side in Georgia to build up that church, also. In fact my MIL would be an EXCELLENT executive director.

1) Nope, I plan to donate to my undergrad school. As for the law school I go to, they charge $1,000+/credit hour, which in my humble opinion is ridiculous for a T4 school. After I pay off my student loans, they'll never see a penny.
2) University of Central Oklahoma; Oklahoma City University in 2009.
3) '03, I took a year off and now I'm in a 4 year program because I need to work during school. I finish law school next May.
4) We'll see. During the time I was at Central Oklahoma, they were really serious about improving their overall image. If the school makes itself worth donating to, they'll see above-average money from me.

[Thetagirl218]

Do you donate to your school? The school where I got my AA, defiantly as I know how they spend their money. Their scholarships go directly to the students and their are tons! They don't go to pay for stupid buildings...My upper level school no way! I didn't like the way they spent my tuition money while I was in my undergrad! Why would I give them more money now? I am not happy with the way my alma mater focuses all its energy on two colleges and leaves the others in the dark in regards to scholarships and academic awards. If I become rich some day (I guess I will have to marry rich as I am a teacher! lol) I would most likely endow a scholarship for Student Government Senators, Transfer Students, and Upper Level Education majors.
Where did you graduate from? St. Petersburg College and the University of North Florida
How long ago did you graduate? Class of 2005 and Class of 2007
