One of the most important things you can do to help Westminster College is make a Westminster Fund gift every year, faithfully. The fact that you make a gift each and every year is as important as the amount of your gift.

The alumni participation rate carries enormous weight in the national college rankings.
Each fall, U.S.News & World Report announces its group of top liberal arts colleges in the country. There is a strong correlation between the most highly regarded liberal arts colleges and the alumni participation rate that each enjoys. The best schools have the highest percentages of participation, and increasing our percentage is one way to move up in the rankings.
A higher ranking means that Westminster is recognized as the
excellent liberal arts college that we know it to be!
As Westminster College moves up in national rankings, the college will be able to attract quality students, continue to recruit outstanding faculty who are dedicated to the total educational experience of our students, while increasing financial support from foundations and corporations.
The FY08 Alumni Participation Rate Goal is 38%!
We ended fiscal year 2007 with an alumni giving percentage rate of 36%, which puts us near the top 50 among national liberal arts colleges. Our goal this year is to secure our position and increase our alumni giving percentage to 38%. Help make this goal a reality! Make your gift online today!
