Scholarship support makes the dream of a college education a reality for over 90% of RU students. Gifts large and small help current and future students to attend and many students have very little family support, making a scholarship the number one barrier to obtaining their degrees. Support current students with a gift to the scholarship fund today.

General Scholarship Fund

One of the most integral components to Roosevelt University's fundraising is our General Scholarship Fund, an important resource for our students who otherwise may not be able to go to college. The General Scholarship Fund goes to students throughout all of our colleges and departments across our Chicago and Schaumburg campuses. Your generous gift is greatly appreciated, and no contribution is too small.

Support students like Rachel

“Every spring, students like me toss graduation caps into the air, cross the University Commencement stage and accept their diplomas. Together we begin what’s next, wherever it may lead, armed with the academics, experience and connections to make our dreams a reality.

Financial support means I can write for the The Torch, Roosevelt’s student newspaper. It’s where I developed lifelong relationships with my fellow reporters and editors, and learned from professors who worked at major newspapers such as The New York Times, Washington Post and Chicago Tribune. Learning firsthand how to be a journalist in a changing industry has made me a better writer, student and citizen.”
