Lehman Today Creates Lehman Tomorrow
Our college, its campus, programs, faculty, students—in essence, its future,
is a guaranteed success as long we help keep the vision alive.
When Lehman was established in 1968, CUNY was a tuition-free institution, but since 1976, with the establishment of tuition requirements, the
cost of attending Lehman has consistently risen. Today, New York State funding contributes only about thirty percent of the College’s annual
operating budget. Tuition, external grants for research and sponsored programs, and gifts from alumni and friends make up the difference.
These gifts expand Lehman’s academic programs, establish endowed chairs and professorships, and upgrade facilities, instrumentation, and
equipment––which all increase the value of a Lehman education as well as a Lehman degree. Most important, these private dollars make
scholarship support available for many students who otherwise could not afford to attend Lehman. Please consider making a gift to help
Lehman College fulfill its mission and build both its future and that of its students. Contact Fredrick Gilbert, acting executive director,
Lehman College Foundation, 318 Shuster Hall, 250 Bedford Park Blvd. West, Bronx NY 10468 / 718-960-8975.
