President's Fund for Engaged Learning

The Presidents Fund for Engaged Learning is supported by gifts from alumni, family and friends of RMU. These individuals show that they support the core values of RMU, and the quality student that RMU graduates. In the past, Dr. DellOmo has used this fund to support scholarships, financial aid, sending students abroad and to conventions, improving technology through out campus, and countless other ways. Every student has been touched in some way by the Presidents Fund for Engaged Learning.

The President's Council

The President's Council of Robert Morris University consists of alumni, trustees, parents, faculty, staff, corporations, foundations and friends who have made a gift of $1,000 or more to the University during the previous fiscal year. The council meets each November for a state of the University address from the president and the chairman of the board of trustees. The University values every donor and gift; however, this annual meeting allows our leadership contributors the opportunity to be kept abreast of the University's achievements and goals for the future.

The significant generosity of council members ensures that Robert Morris University will continue to enhance its traditions of excellence as an independent, co-educational institution committed to offering high quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs that integrate the liberal arts with technical and professional programs.

Gifts from the President's Council are directed to virtually every area within the University -- academic programs, educational resources, faculty development, capital projects, student research grants, scholarship support and endowment growth.

Members of the President's Council demonstrate sincere confidence in the University's goals and set a valuable example for all members of the RMU community to share in the University's mission and vision.

Dean's Fund for Excellence

The Dean's Funds for Excellence allow for flexibility to support areas of importance and emerging priorities specifically within each of the six schools, including student scholarships, faculty funds and enhancements to the learning environment. Alumni support for the funds will make an immediate impact for their respective school.

Class Gift

Each year, the members of the graduating class come together and raise money for a gift to the University. This gift shows students, faculty and staff, the gratitude and appreciation the new graduates have for Robert Morris University. The Class of 2009 will be raising funds to support the development of the Memorial Garden.

Women of RMU Scholarship

As a result of the Women of RMU luncheon series, a scholarship fund was established to support a young woman in her pursuit of an undergraduate degree. The Women of RMU Endowed Scholarship is awarded to an undergraduate woman who demonstrates financial need and has a minimum GPA of 3.0. Special preference is given to the children or grandchildren of RMU alumni.

Student Activities and Programming

Gifts to Student Activities and Programming are used to enhance the social, educational and service activities for current RMU students.
