Why Does Rensselaer Need Your Support?
Alumni participation influences our rankings in U.S.News and World Report. Our overall alumni participation rate lags behind our peer institutions like Rice, Duke, and Dartmouth. By participating today, you will have a positive effect on our rankings while influencing the value of your degree.
Your participation matters! Rensselaer needs your support at any level—$10, $25, $50—every gift counts.
Current students need you! Loans are a part of life, but you can help current students reduce their debt by giving today. Your gift will support student scholarships and help students succeed in and out of the classroom.
Your gift counts toward Renaissance at Rensselaer: The Campaign for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and, if you’re celebrating your Reunion, your class gift total.
Remember, gifts to the Rensselaer Annual Fund help to support areas of the school that recent graduates care about, like athletics, student programs and activities, scholarships, and more!
