Senior Gift

What’s Our Senior Gift?

A collection of all gifts from the Class of 2012 to ANY part of campus.
It's all about getting seniors to GIVE, regardless of the amount, and show their pride for SCU. We’ve had some awesome experiences at Santa Clara, and it’s our time to pay it forward and continue the tradition.

Why do we need YOU?

We have a Senior Challenge! A generous alumni donor has agreed to give $1,000 to Senior Gift for every percent of the class that donates any amount. They believe so strongly that every gift matters so they’re willing to back us up.
Let's have 100% of the Class of 2012 give back so we can maximize this match!

How do we do this?

Click HERE to support the Class of 2012 Senior Class Gift. Let’s show everyone that 2012 has what it takes.
OR join us at a variety of events we have planned for this year- you can donate ANY amount. Check out the Senior Facebook page for updates on events. Every gift brings us closer to reaching 100% participation!

History of the Senior Gift

In 2008, a Senior Class Gift effort was started to give graduating seniors the opportunity to leave their mark on Santa Clara and help to support future students.

Think of all the great experiences and opportunities you have had at Santa Clara University...met your best friends, participated on immersion trips, explored your interests, studied abroad, and countless other fantastic experiences... You may not realize it, but these are all thanks in part to the thousands of SCU Bronco Alumni who make a gift back to Santa Clara every year.

“The new Library and Business School buildings were funded through the support of alumni, family and friends of the University ... not tuition dollars.”

Join the Senior Class Gift Committee

Join the Class of 2012 Senior Class Gift Committee and help to lead a fundraising campaign for seniors during their graduation year. The committee is a fun, low-commitment group for seniors who want to help promote giving to the Senior Campaign, organize activities and opportunities for seniors to give, and celebrate their accomplishments.
