Young alumni, who comprise the Classes of 2001-2011, are the torch-bearers of Rice's future. When you give to the Rice Annual Fund every year, you help shape the university by supporting the people and programs that meant so much to you at Rice. If you're passionate about the education you received, then take action and participate in giving today.
Rice is among fewer than 50 universities nationwide that meet 100 percent of students' financial need. Rice Annual Fund supporters provide approximately $4.5 million in assistance to more than 900 students every year.
$1,000 Supports a visiting professor's salary
$500 Funds a college undergraduate research symposium
$200 Provides a one-year subscription to The New York Times for Fondren Library
$2,000 Funds a College Theatre production
$1,000 Acquires a new bike for Beer Bike
$100 Provides student housing for Alternative Spring Break
Your gift each year enhances Rice's alumni participation rate (the percentage of alumni who give to Rice), which influences Rice's annual college ranking.
