Your annual gift makes a difference every day

Your gift of any size to Ohio Wesleyan's Annual Giving Program helps OWU to be nimble in responding to rapidly evolving needs. Whether you support the Ohio Wesleyan Fund, an academic department (or two or three, for our double and triple majors!), or Team OWU athletics, your gift helps current students chart meaningful paths at OWU.

The Ohio Wesleyan Annual Giving Program solidifies Ohio Wesleyan among the top tier of our nation’s liberal arts colleges, providing support that elevates the student experience and enables life-changing connections.

Powered by gifts of all sizes from alumni, families, and friends like you, the Annual Giving Program propels our students forward—as published researchers, Fulbright Scholars, Rhodes finalists, and All-American athletes. As creative writers, data analysts, microbiologists, and activists. Thanks to your support, Ohio Wesleyan students have no limit on the knowledge they pursue; no cap on their creativity and curiosity.

Your gift ensures our students have the fullest experience possible: a rich learning environment, passionate faculty, and eye-opening opportunities—from scholarships to travel study, research to leadership roles, and more.

Your support matters. Whether you can give $25 or $25,000, your contribution is a vote of confidence in the Ohio Wesleyan liberal arts education that prepares well-rounded graduates who are ready for success in their next step, whether that be graduate or professional school, meaningful careers, military or volunteer service—or whatever they choose to pursue. With philanthropy from alumni and friends, Ohio Wesleyan’s students make deep, vital connections…across disciplines, across cultures, and even across continents.

Thank you for giving to Ohio Wesleyan!

OWU in the News

Former scholarship recipients say:

“As someone who was admitted to Ohio Wesleyan without any family financial assistance, I learned to appreciate every contribution made toward making my education possible.  If I had not been offered an Ohio Wesleyan grant, it’s safe to say that I would not have been an OWU student. This is what sets Ohio Wesleyan apart from other schools:  creating the opportunity and the means for students to obtain a quality education.”

--Alina Ruzmetova ’11

“Without the scholarships and financial aid I was given while at OWU, I don’t think I would be in the position I am today. I am fortunate to have my education and, more importantly, the leadership experiences I gained while I was a student at OWU.”

--Doreen DeLaney Crawley ’91
Chief Human Resources and Administrative Officer, Grange Insurance
