Reunion Giving

Reunion is a time to celebrate the experiences that shaped lives, the friendships forged, and the opportunities made possible at WashU. For many, giving back is a way to honor those memories and ensure future generations can build their own.

Did you know tuition revenue covers only 60% of the true cost of a WashU education? Gifts from alumni like you fill that gap, funding scholarships, groundbreaking research, faculty excellence, and the spaces where our community thrives. Your support directly impacts current students and paves the way for the future.




Every contribution made between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026, will count toward your Class Gift. The total amount of a five-year pledge is included, allowing your generosity to extend even further.
