Your college counts on Shocker Fund resources

In addition to providing and supporting instruction, faculty and staff in each academic college are responsible for advising students, providing networking opportunities, administering scholarships and understanding the needs of their students.

Here are just a few ways your Shocker Fund gifts make a difference:

  • Allows students to attend research conferences
  • Brings in highly regarded guest lecturers
  • Provides study abroad resources
  • Gives students applied learning experiences through community services

Each college receives a number of student requests that can’t always be fulfilled each year. That is why supporting academic colleges is so important. The power to change lives through the Shocker Fund lies with you.

You can make a gift to a Shocker Fund by clicking on the academic areas above.

Monthly gifts of all sizes matter

Your monthly gift, no matter the amount, will make a huge impact on students who have a learning opportunity but don’t have the resources to cover it. Monthly gifts can be made easily online, by mail, text or over the phone. For questions or to set up a monthly gift, contact Samantha Anderson at samantha.anderson@wichita.edu or 316-978-3819.
