Villa Maria College
Annual Campaign

Why an Annual Campaign?

Each year Villa Maria College invites generous benefactors to support the Mission of Villa Maria College. An unrestricted, recurring gift to the annual campaign allows Villa Maria College to use your contribution where is needed most. Resources from the community enable the College to sustain its current activities while providing for innovative opportunities. It allows us to explore new programs of study and enhance current offerings with new technology and enhanced student experiences. Students benefit not only from the academic experience but from the offerings that ensure a holistic approach to student life. The annual campaign also supports tuition grants for qualified students. Faculty and staff are provided with professional development opportunities translating into more vibrant approaches to learning.
