Giving Options

You can direct your gift to the area of the college that is most meaningful to you.

The Dickinson Fund

Dickinson’s annual fund, the Dickinson Fund, makes the full Dickinson experience possible by funding the portion of each student's education that isn't covered by tuition (roughly 20%), providing vital scholarships and financial aid, and more.

Scholarships
