Annual support of alumni, friends, business and industry is critical to Austin Peay State University's future.  Private gifts enable the University to enhance its programs and facilities; providing a margin of excellence not possible through state assistance.  Your gifts help the University go beyond what is possible with its tax-based budget alone.

The ultimate measure of a university is the caliber of its graduates, and those graduates often are judged by the current reputation of their alma mater.  Austin Peay alumni can take pride in their University's quality and image, and  the value of their association with its being enhanced each year.

Private annual gifts help support excellence in every area of the University:

• In the classroom:  Annual gifts enable the University to provide scholarships that will attract the best students and support faculty/student research projects.

  the pursuit of excellence in athletics.
