Contributing to the Senior Class Legacy is an Investment in Your Degree
Each year, members of the graduating class make a four-year pledge to support Stern, forging a lifelong connection with Stern and with other alumni. By participating in the Senior Class Legacy, you will be helping to enhance the value of your degree and the quality of a Stern education.
Participation Counts
The key to a successful Senior Class Legacy is participation. Every gift Stern receives through the Senior Class Legacy is significant, regardless of its amount.
The total amount of your pledge will be spread out over four years. For example, a $2,000 pledge can be broken out into annual pledge payments of only $500 for four years. You can also choose to stagger the payments; ie, $200, $400, $600, $800.
Your first pledge payment will be due one year after graduation (June 2009).
Corporate Matching
Matching gift programs are the most effective and valued initiatives created by corporations to help colleges and universities raise much-needed funds for educational purposes. Stern has been a grateful beneficiary of these matching gift programs for many years.
Matching gifts from your employer will count towards your contribution to the Senior Class Legacy. For example, if your company matches dollar for dollar, and you pledge $4,000, you may fulfill your pledge by paying $2,000, with your employer's matching contribution making up the difference.
