Parents of Wesleyan students have very special reasons to want to increase financial gifts to the University. 

• These gifts directly support your children's education, given that tuition covers only a portion of the costs of a Wesleyan education.
• Gifts also make financial aid possible, a matter of interest not only to those students receiving financial aid but also to all Wesleyan students, whose educational experience is enriched by having a diverse student body.
• Further, gifts to Wesleyan support the University's current efforts to improve the educational program and campus life in the short term, changes that will be experienced by our sons and daughters in their time here. 
• Finally, the longer-term campaign to make Wesleyan the recognized leader among liberal arts colleges will enhance the value of the Wesleyan degree we all expect to celebrate sooner or later.
