Class Giving Campaign

Support your Passion!

What is it about Syracuse University that’s made a difference in your life? An awesome professor? A much-needed scholarship? A fabulous semester abroad? Pay it forward and support the part of the SU you love most with a gift to the Class of 2026 Giving Campaign!

Make your Class Giving Campaign gift of $26.00—and you’ll get an exclusive cord to wear at Commencement!

Does your Gift really matter?

Absolutely! Why? Because tuition and fees cover only about 80% of the real cost of an SU education. Without you, these opportunities remain just out of reach for some students. How much should you give? We’re suggesting $26.00 in honor of our class year, but no gift is too small—it’s the giving that’s important.

Show your True Colors: The Class Giving Campaign Cord

Support the Class of 2026 Giving Campaign and, you’ll be able to show your generosity at Commencement with a special orange, white, and silver cord to wear with your cap and gown.

To receive yours, make a gift of $26.00 or more and be part of this colorful tradition!

A Note for Families

We’re excited to offer a special opportunity for parents of 2026 graduates! Submissions will open in April 2026.

Make a gift to the Annual Fund using our secure online giving form to be featured on the Class of 2026 Wishing Well site. Submissions will also be showcased on the Dome’s big screens and other digital displays across campus during Commencement weekend!

Please note: a parent gift is different from a class gift and does not qualify for a graduation cord.
