General deposit refund

When you were accepted to Linfield before your freshman year, you paid a matriculation fee to hold your spot at the College.

$300 of that $400 goes toward helping maintain your permanent school records, as well as other costs. However, if your account is clear and all fees have been paid, after your graduation you will receive $100 back from the school - this is your general deposit.

Each year, many graduating seniors choose to pledge a portion of this refund as a gift back to Linfield. It's a great way to acknowledge the outstanding education and close-knit experience that benefitted you as a student, and pay that forward to the next generation of Wildcats.

Why should I give part or all of my refund back to Linfield?

Every year, gifts to the college provide funds for scholarships and financial aid, faculty development, campus improvements - virtually everything you see on campus was funded partially or entirely by gifts from alumni, parents and employees! As you graduate and go into the world, we hope that you will become part of this group of committeed Linfield supporters who make sure that the Linfield experience is available to students for generations to come.

Note: General deposit refund gifts are accepted from McMinnville and Portland campus students only.
