Are you up for a challenge?

Rising Alumni, graduates from 2000 – 2010, are the future of Linfield.

As a recent Linfield graduate, you are on the rise. You are launching a career in healthcare and creating social change in our world. You are the future of Linfield, and we honor you.

In order to demonstrate how much your support matters, five members from the Linfield Board of Trustees have generously offered to match your gift this year*. That means your investment on the Portland Campus will have twice the impact today.

*All gifts from $25 - $500 will be matched one-to-one

Your gift makes a difference

Alumni support plays a critical role in providing current students like Kyann ‘12, Tasha ‘11, Whitney ’12 and Maribel ’12 with a close-knit academic community that connects theory and practice.

  • Tuition, room and board covers only 84 percent of the true cost of a Linfield education, leaving a gap of $6,254 per student
  • This year, 99 percent of students on the Portland Campus receive scholarships and financial aid
  • Gifts provide support for scholarships, campus improvements, technology upgrades, and student programs and allow Linfield to recruit and keep our top faculty.

Last year, thousands of alumni contributed $1.4 million to scholarships and their favorite programs.

Will you join the Rising Alumni Challenge today?

Our goal is to raise $100,000 for Linfield by June 30 - half from Rising Alumni and half from the Trustees. With your support, we can do it!
