The Clarke Fund

Our alumni and friends take pride in supporting Clarke, and one of the most direct ways to support Clarke is through a gift to the Clarke Fund.

The Clarke Fund is the University’s annual fund. Its purpose is to fill the gap between what it takes to operate the University on an annual basis (annual expenses) and what is received from student tuition and fees (annual revenue).

Support of the Clarke Fund enables the University to:

  1. Maintain competitive tuition rates—keeping them in line with peer institutions.
  2. Award academic and need-based scholarships and financial assistance.
  3. Upgrade, replace and maintain academic resources including technology, periodicals, journals and classroom supplies.
