Giving to Saint Louis University

Your support of Saint Louis University makes a true difference in the lives of others. Gifts to SLU fund access to a world-class education, leading-edge research, compassionate health care and mission-focused service, as we collectively work to serve a higher purpose and seek the greater good.

You don't have to give a lot to make a difference. Your gift, large or small, could be the deciding factor in sending a deserving student to a conference, providing scholarships or allowing a department to advance to the next level."

Richard Olson (GRAD '71)
