The McMurry Fund is an annual fundraising campaign that strives to raise unrestricted gifts to the University. Unrestricted money is utilized to benefit student financial aid, technological improvements, our excellent faculty and many other college needs. Annual gifts are an indication of the pride our McMurry alumni and friends have for this remarkable and historic University. Gifts in their entirety go to work immediately, ensuring that more students achieve their goal of becoming McMurry University graduates.
Every dollar donated to the McMurry Fund Greatest Area of Need supports the entire student experience. Here’s how:
The cost of a McMurry education is not fully covered by tuition—all students benefit from the generosity of alumni, parents and friends. Not a single student at McMurry University graduates without having been touched in some way by annual gifts. Keep in mind that 100% of McMurry students who have financial need are awarded financial aid to pursue their academic goals. Annual gifts made to the McMurry Fund change lives, every single day.
While gifts to the McMurry Fund Greatest Area of Need are our highest priority and provide us with the flexibility to use funds where they are needed most, you can also choose to designate your gift to an area meaningful to you.
