Giving Priorities

Transforming Students: Powering Our Region

UM-Dearborn is an institution acclaimed for its academic excellence and practical, real-world experience.

Our top priority has always been our students, and we are focused on the success of our future graduates. Today, UM-Dearborn is focused on creating victors who will make a meaningful difference in the world through the Victors for UM-Dearborn Campaign.

By reaching our campaign goal of $50 million, UM-Dearborn will realize our vision of transforming students, powering our region and creating victors for our world. To reach our goals, we have identified funding opportunities and will make strategic investments in four key areas: student support, educational initiatives, learning environments and faculty support.

All gifts are valued and counted in the Victors for Michigan campaign, regardless of purpose or size.

It's really important to give back to the community that gave back to me. I’m an Opportunity Scholar on campus and that makes me want to give back because the university showed they had faith in me by providing me with the scholarship.
