What is The Parents Fund?
State funding and student fees make up just a portion of UC Berkeley’s operating budget. Donations to The Parents Fund help bridge that financial gap by providing flexible funds for the Chancellor to use where they are needed most — all to benefit students. Families can make a gift that will help fund freshman and sophomore seminars, undergraduate research, the Library, the Career Center, classroom improvements, and night safety programs, among many others.
Parents are an integral part of the Colorado School of Mines community. In addition to the support they give their Mines student and the financial investment of paying tuition, many generous parents also make annual contributions to The Parents Fund. Tuition and state funding do not cover the entire cost of a Mines education. Each year, hundreds of parents bridge this gap by making a contribution to The Parents Fund, ensuring that Colorado School of Mines provides the best possible education for their sons and daughters.
