Your gift matters
When you make a financial gift to The Media School, you are helping to support our mission of providing a transformative education that prepares our students for success, no matter where life takes them.
Make a one-time giftYour gift supports scholarships
Paying for a college education is tough for many of our students. Your contributions help support a number of scholarships that ease the financial burden and give them the support they need to take advantage of internships and other opportunities.
Because I feel press freedom is a worthy project and internships have been a wonderful experience for students, I permanently endowed the International Press Freedom Scholarship Fund.
Anthony Fargo, associate professor
Your gift supports student travel
We are proud to offer a number of innovative travel courses.
As part of these classes, students have traveled to six continents for periods ranging from one to eight weeks. Thanks to you, everyone who participates receives a partial scholarship, which makes it possible for many students to have their first experiences abroad.
Your gift supports the experiences that make our school special
Whether it’s a talk by a Hollywood producer, a conference highlighting 1960s media or a student organization trip to Chicago, your dollars help our students get the most out of their time here.
You also help fund research initiatives. Because of you, faculty are able to involve students in their projects, adding an extra dimension to their education and further preparing them for success.
