RU Every Day.
Everyday RU.
It’s something we bring with us every day, wherever we go. It lives in our hearts, our souls and our brains. It’s the little voice that reminds us to do the right thing, pay it forward, lead with kindness. It’s RU.
It’s an everyday gift that keeps on giving. Now it’s time to give back so that little RU voice can live on in the hearts, souls and brains of future Hawks.
Here are a few reasons why every gift is important to Rockhurst University:
It allows us to make a Rockhurst education possible for future students through scholarships.
It enhances the value of a Rockhurst degree.
It increases our chances of obtaining funding for grants.
With higher rankings, we stand out among our competitors, helping us attract top students.
It enhances the Rockhurst experience for everyone – from students to alumni to faculty, staff and beyond.
It shows our alumni care about their alma mater.
It’s a vote of support and helps boost our rankings on lists like U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges and Universities.
In other words, each gift helps ensure the RU mission can continue to live on in the everyday lives of future Hawks.
“I feel so blessed to advance my education at RU
while doing something I love – playing lacrosse.
Here, I know I am receiving a high-quality
education that will lead me to success. But the
truth is, I would not have been able to attend this
great university without the academic scholarship
I received. Scholarships like mine exist because
of the generosity of donors like you. It made my
everyday Rockhurst experience possible, and for
that I am so grateful.”
- Danielle Spencer, ’19
“It is hard to find words to sum up our time at
Rockhurst University because so many come to
mind. Rockhurst is our home away from home.
A place that allowed us to strive to be the best
versions of ourselves not only personally, but
also for others. Simply put, we are blessed by
our exceptional, life-changing experience at
Rockhurst. Like Danielle on the reverse, every day
we are grateful we chose RU.”
- Frederick, ’12, and Kristin (Merlo) Grossman, ’11
