I give because I believe in the work of preparing teachers. I like to see funding that goes to helping students who need some additional support. I was a student who needed that help, and I’m always grateful to the people who made it possible.

The impact of your gift
I am not sure a simple “thank you” is enough; being allowed a college education is literally life-changing. I was not bogged down by the worry of needing to keep a steady job, so it allowed me to tutor students in the local area in my free time.
Daniel JonaitisSenior, scholarship recipient
I greatly appreciate you all for donating to make a difference along my educational journey. These funds have relieved a financial burden which is an immense stressor and, in turn, I will have more time to focus on academics and research.
The SOE needs the support of employees, along with alumni and friends, to continue its mission and achieve our strategic goals. Having strong internal support from faculty and staff sends a powerful message to current and potential donors. Generosity generates more generosity.
Yes! Our goal is to drastically increase faculty and staff participation, and we encourage gifts of any size. If your gift is meaningful to you, it’s meaningful to the School.
Yes, you can designate your gift to the program, scholarship, department or initiative of your choice.
Yes! If you have donated to the School of Education at any time during the academic year, thank you!
No. This campaign is specific only to School of Education funds.
Your gift to the United Way of South Central Indiana supports great organizations around Bloomington, but does not support the School of Education. As a donor to the Faculty and Staff Campaign, your gift comes directly to the School and 100% of your gift benefits the program area that you designate.
