While it's a great time to be at Slippery Rock University, many worthy students struggle to afford this opportunity.  As alumni and friends, we need you to help close the students' financial aid gap by contributing to Slippery Rock University. Why?

• When most alumni attended Slippery Rock University, the state funded more than half of the actual cost of their education. Today, however, it is the students and their families who shoulder more than 60 percent of the costs.
• Two thirds of our students are the first generation in their family to attend college and 80 percent of these students graduate with an average debt of $20,041.
• Private support makes the difference between a good education and a great one by making available unique opportunities and experiences that enable Slippery Rock University students to achieve their dreams and contribute meaningfully to their community and society.

Collectively Rock alumni and friends can make a huge difference in the lives of our students. Consider a gift today and know that you had a role in making this a great time to be at Slippery Rock University.
