We are deeply grateful to every donor who chooses to invest in the U of I.”
The $52.5 million donated in FY24 will be allocated according to the donors’ wishes, with $17.2 million going toward scholarships and student financial aid; $25.7 million toward research, academics and faculty support; and $9.6 million toward libraries, facilities and operations, Extension programs and other areas.
