Power Possibility at Bucknell

Support Bucknellians

Each year, annual gifts from alumni, parents and friends strengthen the Bucknell experience and empower students to thrive. They fund scholarships, financial aid and student programs, drive innovation, support hands-on research, and ensure every student has access to the opportunities, mentorship and resources they need to succeed. Each gift makes a difference, and the impact is felt every day on campus.
