Be All In
Beloit has 175 years of experience educating the most career-agile and world-ready people in the room.
Case for Support
In the face of national trends—from declining college enrollment to increasing concern with outcomes and the value of a college degree—we are acting quickly and working together to more explicitly position ourselves as a student-ready college that prepares our graduates for meaningful careers and dynamic futures.
Now, we are implementing a new strategic plan for Beloit. The community has rallied around this exciting direction that is true to our DNA, focused on the connections between students’ Beloit experiences and their future careers and lives, and in sync with what prospective families are seeking from their college choice.
With your investment, Beloit will be here another 175 years.
The plan is centered around tying a Beloit education tightly and clearly to student futures across all four years at the college. It will make the Beloit education more directly relevant to our students, our faculty and staff, our alumni, and—critically—the marketplace.
Be Extraordinary.
In order to accomplish our vision for the future, we are also undertaking an extraordinary fundraising campaign: Be All In. Our goal as a community is to generate cash (or cash equivalent) of approximately $10 million for each of the next five years. In this five-year period, we will raise unrestricted Annual Fund dollars of about $19 million for financial aid and an additional $31 million for other campus priorities.
Annual Fund
From now on, every dollar—100% of gifts—to the Beloit College Annual Fund will go directly to financial aid to support the recruitment and retention of the best Beloiters, with an emphasis on providing financial access to the college.
$28 Million for Our Students
Pour our support into financial aid, to help us attract and retain the best Beloiters, including the Beloit College Annual Fund.
Improve access to Beloit and personal relationship-based recruiting by investing in Admissions and Enrollment. The Refer a Future Beloiter program is also a great way to help both Beloit College and a future student.
Offer the most robust opportunities to engage students and build retention (summer orientation, sophomore retreat, etc.)
Energize our Career & Community Engagement Center to connect alumni professional experience and student need to meet aggressive graduation rate goals and market demand.
$17 Million for Our People
