Every Terrier leaves BU transformed. Now it’s your turn to give back.
The Class Gift Campaign is your chance to celebrate your journey, honor the experiences that shaped you, and leave a legacy for future Terriers. Whether it was a club, a scholarship, a mentor, or a moment—you can say thank you in a meaningful way.
Last year, the Class of 2025 raised $101,000 from 1,700 donors. The Class of 2026 is ready to go even bigger—and we know you’re up for the challenge.
Why Give?
- Choose Your Impact: Support the cause that means the most to you—your favorite club or org, student wellness, scholarships, research, sustainability, athletics, or even a cause that is very niche to you!
- Honor Cord Recognition: Your gift of $20.26 or more will earn you a scarlet and white philanthropy honor cord to wear at Commencement.
- Exclusive Donor Invite: With your class gift, you’ll be invited to a donor-exclusive celebratory reception with President Gilliam in May.
Pay It Forward
Your gift helps ensure that future students have access to the same transformative BU experience that you did.
Are you a proud parent or family member of a graduate?
Make a gift in honor of your student so they can wear their philanthropy cord proudly at Commencement in May! This meaningful tradition supports scholarships, student life, and programs that benefit future Terriers. With a gift of $150, you’ll get to record a personal video congratulating your Terrier on graduation that will be sent to them on Commencement Day! On the gift form, please be sure to select “this is a joint gift with my student” so they can receive credit and pick up their cord.
