Excellence & Affordability

Your gift to the Wheaton Fund is an investment in the affordability and excellence of every student's Wheaton experience.

Through the Wheaton Fund, you play a pivotal role in sustaining Wheaton’s mission of delivering an excellent and affordable Christ-centered education. Every gift to the Wheaton Fund enhances our community's capacity to flourish and excel, directly benefiting students, faculty, and staff. Specifically, when you support the Wheaton Fund, you provide much-needed operational funds that help us to:

  • Foster excellence in liberal arts instruction and student programming by providing competitive faculty salaries and supporting Christian outreach experiences, athletic programs, and library resources for students.
  • Keep Wheaton affordable by funding areas not supported by tuition alone, which reduces the overall cost of attending for every student.
