We need you This fall, Reedies returned to campus excited for the opportunity to once again sit next to peers in conferences, attend office hours in person, exchange ideas in the library lobby, and dance late into the night in the SU. While the COVID-19 protocols that are still in place may make daily life look a little different from the life we knew at Reed, we can’t help but be relieved that students are back and able to enjoy the personal connections, mentorships, and academic rigor that distinguish Reed. With this return to campus, Reed has made great efforts to support students, especially through increasing financial aid. Not only has the average Reed grant increased from $40K to $44K, but also the number of students receiving financial aid has increased from 53% to 58%. With more students on campus than ever, Reed awarded $38.2M in financial aid this year.

This was made possible thanks to gifts from alumni, parents, and friends last fiscal year. As a nonprofit, Reed relies upon the philanthropy of its community–especiallyalumni– to make possible all of the things that make Reed, Reed. Every gift makes a meaningful and direct impact in the life of a fellow Reedie. As Reedies, we know the magic of sitting around a table (conference or dinner), sharing our perspectives, and sparking connections to new ideas. We hope you’ll join us in supporting fellow Reedies return to that magic by making a gift to Reed this year.
