Giving Matters
Your gifts to University of the Ozarks truly matter to our students:
- 91% of the student population relies on financial aid to help them finance their education.
- Ozarks is a private, non-profit organization, so Annual Scholarship Fund support is crucial for the University to continue offering scholarships to deserving students.
- Our graduates have one of the lowest educational debt rates in the country, thanks to the Annual Scholarship Fund.
- Ozarks is proud to offer its students an exceptional, affordable education, but the need for scholarship funds is growing on campuses across the United States including Ozarks.
- Students are able to focus better on their studies and achieve more when they worry less about their finances.
Throughout her long history of service through education, the University of the Ozarks has depended on the generosity of donors like you to carry out and expand her mission.
