The Parents Fund

The Parents Fund supports Bucknell University's top priority: our students. In the past fiscal year parents contributed over $2 million — sending a strong, collective vote of confidence in the University's mission and vision. You can designate your Parents Fund gift to any area of Bucknell.

When you make a gift to Bucknell, you provide the vital resources that make our academic programs so strong, our residential programs so engaging, our financial aid packages so substantial, and our campus such a beautiful and effective space for learning.

Most of all, your gifts support our students — your children — along with their friends and peers and future generations of Bucknellians, helping them grow into broadly educated leaders ready for success.
