Mount Union Fund

Even from afar, parents play a significant role in the day-to-day life of Mount Union students. One important way parents become more involved is through their support of the Mount Union Fund. Did you know that every student, regardless of their situation, receives a "hidden scholarship"? A portion of the actual cost of providing the exceptional learning environment your student experiences is supplemented by the generosity of alumni, parents and friends who believe in your child and the Mount Union mission. 

Share the pride and make an impact on your student's educational journey with a special gift to the Mount Union Fund today. Go Raiders!
