“I give to Gustavus because Gustavus gave so much to me! That may sound cheesy, but those four years at GAC were so formative, rich, fun and memorable. I am forever grateful to the education I received and the experiences I had while at GAC.”

“It is very simple as to why I give to the Gustavus fund.  I value my education, I met my wife at Gustavus, made lifelong friends there, and I now have the means to give. I am hoping that the money I give helps Gustavus provide a nurturing atmosphere like the one I experienced.”

“I give because the cost of college is rising. Every little bit helps defray current students cost and will reduce their debt burden when they graduate, making it easier for them when they leave Gustavus.  I also give because Alumni Giving % is a factor in college ratings. I had a great college experience and I […]

“I couldn’t have gone to Gustavus without scholarships and grant aid from generous donors. Even though I’m still paying off loans, I give to Gustavus so someone else can have the same awesome, enriching, life-changing experience I got to have.”
