Because tuition only covers 75% of the IC experience, your support of the IC Annual Fund helps to make up the difference. Your annual gift goes right where it’s needed most — right when it’s needed most — to make students' time on campus the best it can be.
The fund supports so many things for students, such as providing additional financial aid and scholarships, bringing in guest speakers, funding student travel to conferences, and much more. Here is how ICAF dollars are typically spent:
Your yearly gift to the Ithaca College Annual Fund makes a great IC education possible. You support visiting scholars and artists who ignite a student’s passion, internships that allow students to explore potential career paths, research opportunities that inspire bold thinking, and travel to academic conferences in order to share newfound discoveries.
It should come as no surprise that a large percentage of ICAF funds each fiscal year goes toward things like classroom equipment and resources, seminars, guest lecturers, faculty support, and the library—the things that keep IC’s academic experience among the best in our peer group.
IC is the perfect fit for students who want a unique, transformative college experience. But many on our campus wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the financial help that the college provides. Funding from IC supplements federal and state scholarships, grants, and loans to make the dream of an IC experience come true.
Student organizations, sports, counseling, advising, tutoring, a fitness center—life at IC is more than classroom learning. The college is committed to providing students with a high-quality, comprehensive residential experience, which includes supporting things like the Student Governance Council, multicultural programming, and on-campus wellness services.
Tech resources like Wi-Fi and infrastructure support, utilities, and building and grounds maintenance ensure the college has what it requires to successfully function as an institution and serve the needs of all on campus.
