On Feb. 26 and 27, the St. Olaf community will come together to support financial aid for current and future Oles. Financial aid is at the core of the St. Olaf experience - as more financial aid resources are supported by the greater community, more resources are available to enhance the living and learning on the Hill. Help support all students - one Ole at a time - with your giving - one gift at a time.
St. Olaf meets 100% of financial need for all students, and 99% of students receive some sort of financial aid. We can’t do that without you.
During Giving Days, there are a handful of matches and challenges that will make each gift go further. For example, the Board of Regents will match every donor to the campaign with an additional $100 (giving up to $100,000 total). PLUS - if we get 500 donors, they will give an additional $50,000!
Why we need YOU:
Alumni and family are St. Olaf’s greatest advocates. Your word is the strongest case for giving back to St. Olaf College, and your involvement will ensure a successful campaign. Support this important effort to fund financial aid for current and future Oles by sharing with your Ole network.

💌 Share, Share, Share
