I already pay tuition. Why should I support Wagner through the PSP?

Many students feel that tuition costs are a significant amount they've already given to Wagner. However, tuition only covers a portion of what it takes to run the school on an annual basis. Donations from alumni and friends to the NYU Wagner Annual Fund play a vital role in supporting many of Wagner's core efforts -- like research as in the case of the PSP.

Also, donating to the PSP helps YOU, too. The more people that give to the PSP, which is funneled through the NYU Wagner Annual Fund, the higher our giving participation rate becomes. This, in turn, enhances our reputation among our peer institutions, thereby increasing the value of your degree.

How much should I give?

We are asking for a donation of $20.08 to commemorate our grad year, but a donation of ANY size is appreciated. Gifts of over $250 qualify you for membership in one of Wagner's elite giving circles. To learn more about the benefits associated with these circles, click here.

I can't give a lot at this time. Will my gift make an impact?

Yes, even small gifts have an impact. Not only will every dollar contributed to go student research, but it will also increase the number of contributors and percentage of the Wagner community that supports the school. A high giving rate among our alumni, students and friends shows organizations, foundations and prospective students that we believe in the school, which Wagner can leverage when talking to foundations and other potential funders about larger gifts. Remember, it's not how much you give, but THAT you give.

How do I make a contribution or pledge to the PSP?

You may make your contribution with an online credit card transaction, a personal check, or a cash donation--watch for announcements about when you can find students at the Wagner Class Gift Table at Puck and Tisch. You may also make a pledge to pay at a later date. Thanks for your support!

Is my donation to the PSP tax-deductible?

Yes. You will receive a letter verifying the amount of your donation, and the fact that it is tax deductible, from NYU.
