CAMPAIGN FAQ Making Education Work means putting the power of a Simmons education to work for current and future students – and alumnae/i. We’re increasing the number of scholarships available to help students achieve their education goals. And we’re making bold investments in our faculty and academic programs to further enhance the value and prestige of every Simmons degree. What’s the Campaign for? > New scholarships and other financial aid will help aspiring Simmons students achieve their goal of an innovative, high-quality education that prepares them for their life’s work. > Strategic investments in our academic programs will support faculty/student research, internships, and other vital learning tools. Will my small gift really matter? > Yes! “Small” gifts collectively have an impact – that’s the power of community. Your gift also helps us compete for grants from corporations and foundations – they always ask “How many alumnae/i give?” See how Simmons compares with competitors on the “Alumnae/i Giving” charts (right).

I feel the impact of my Simmons education every single day, and I know other alumnae/i feel the same way. Through the Making Education Work Campaign, we can make sure that generations of students experience the challenges and rewards of a Simmons education, just as we have done. Every step of progress toward our $85 million Campaign goal puts the dream of a Simmons education that much closer for students who aspire to learn, lead, and make a difference in the world. Campaign gifts will generate more scholarships and other financial aid. They will also enhance the vitality of our academic programs by supporting faculty and fostering innovation in classrooms and labs. Please join me and other alumnae/i and make a gift to the Campaign.
