Give Back through the Class Gift

UCCS Class Gifts

From the moment you enroll at UCCS, your time here is enriched by the philanthropic support of others. Now is your time to join the tradition.

Join the Tradition

Since 2015, graduating Mountain Lions have banded together to leave a legacy at UCCS through the Class Gift. This gift is a critical step in transitioning into a UCCS alum and becoming part of a long-standing tradition. What's important is not how much you give, but that you participate.

You will leave a mark by donating to the scholarship or program of your choice. So far, over $84,500 have been raised from graduating students, which has made a huge collective impact at UCCS.

Class Gift Commencement Cords

With a $25 donation, you will receive a blue cord to wear and be recognized at Commencement. Email tessa.ackerland@cu.edu to arrange a pick-up time.

Featured Funds for the 2024 Class Gift

This semester, the Alumni Office is highlighting three important funds vital to current UCCS students: Clyde's Cupboard Food Pantry, HEROS Scholarship and MOSAIC (Multicultural Office for Student Access, Inclusiveness & Community). 

Please consider designating your class gift to one of these critical areas, your school or college, a favorite program, or a scholarship. You are making an impact where it matters most. 

70% of UCCS students receive financial aid, but not all of their needs can be met. Your gift will help students to remain at UCCS and complete their degrees.
