SLUH relies on the gifts of parents to help fund the Mission of the school: to serve all qualified young men regardless of their families’ economic circumstances.

Your contribution allows SLUH to maintain a diverse student body that can be shaped by the dedicated faculty into Men for Others.

Parents are typically asked for gifts to the Parent Annual Fund and Cashbah during the year. A general timeline of solicitations:

• May 2018 - Tuition mailing with FACTS form and Parent Annual Fund details.
• After school begins - Dedicated effort, including follow-up letter and peer-to-peer parent phone calls.
• Fall 2018 - early 2019 - Depending on what co-curriculars your son is involved in, Cashbah solicitations may start as early as September. Gift Gathering Parties typically are from November to January.
• April 6, 2019 - Golden Anniversary Cashbah Auction - Attendees are asked to consider a contribution to the Fund-A-Need portion of the evening.
• Spring 2019 - Final year-end solicitation for current year non-donors.

We recognize tuition is a significant expenditure for SLUH families. But, we ask for additional contributions to the school for three reasons:

1. Tuition is set at $2,281 less than the true Cost of Education. Contributions help bridge this gap.
2. Our goal is to achieve 100% participation. Parent giving is a sign of pride and gives families a chance - regardless of the gift size - to show their support for their son’s SLUH experience.
3. Parent Annual Giving is vital to helping SLUH: maintain needs-blind admission; offer uncapped levels of tuition assistance; and have the ability to admit young men based on their ability to succeed, not their economic circumstances.
