Honor My Senior

Please join fellow parents and families in recognizing the Class of 2023 by making a gift in honor of your senior. Such generosity will immediately benefit Kalamazoo College students just as the impact of gifts from alumni, parents and friends of K benefited your students experience. You may also make a gift online in honor of your senior at www.kzoo.edu/onlinegiving. Thank you for considering a gift to Kalamazoo College and congratulations on the achievements of your senior.

Why Give a Gift beyond Tuition?

Tuition at Kalamazoo College, as at most colleges, does not reflect the entire cost of educating students. The Kalamazoo College Fund is relied on each year to help close the gap between what parents and families pay and what it actually costs to educate your students.

You have a vested interest, wanting your student to have access to the best resources and experiences, and to be challenged by their student peers. Your gift through the Kalamazoo College Fund allows the College to provide exceptional educational opportunities and learning experiences to every K student.
