Your Giving Matters
Your gifts, small or large, make a difference in the lives of our students, faculty, and campus community.
Our priority at Champlain is always our students. Our Advancement Team is committed to stewarding your investment so that it has the greatest impact on our students’ success.
Your Gifts Make a Difference
By supporting the Champlain Fund, you help make the entire Champlain experience possible. A gift to the Champlain Fund is a gift of opportunity. It allows us to provide:
Scholarships
In order to make higher ed attainable for students of all backgrounds, we created scholarships that you help support with your gift to the Champlain Fund.
Study-Abroad Programs
With your helping hand, over 50% of Champlain undergraduate students are able to participate in transformative study abroad and service learning trips—which can open their eyes to new perspectives and broaden their horizons.
Hands-On Work Experiences
Your gift helps students gain hands-on experience at one of our Centers of Excellence, with departments on campus, or in local, national and even international positions.
Service Learning Experiences
Service learning combines community service with academic instruction. Your support helps students to participate in these life-changing opportunities, developing academic skills and a sense of civic responsibility.
Cutting-Edge Learning Environments
Your support helps ensure that classrooms stay relevant and up-to-date and faculty have essential opportunities for professional development and training to stay current in their fields.
Because of you, we can do even more!
