If it touches students, the Ferrum Fund makes it possible.
Ferrum College offers a hands-on experiential learning environment few other colleges can match. Our students work hard and are eager and curious at their core. Approximately 99% of our students on campus receive financial aid. A high percentage of Ferrum College students are the first in their families to attend college. Many of our students work 30-40 hours a week while attending school full-time. Many are also student-athletes with demanding practice and travel schedules. They have determination that often exceeds their resources. When you support the Ferrum Fund, the unrestricted nature of the fund allows Ferrum College to respond to the areas of greatest need and in the moments of opportunity for our students.
The Ferrum Fund relies on annual donations to keep it strong and at a level sufficient to meet the needs of our students and campus. By giving to The Ferrum Fund, you enable the programs that keep students connected with the faculty and staff who help them explore, develop personally and professionally, and achieve their educational dreams. You help students who enter with promise to thrive and leave with purpose—a purpose that will impact their communities, the region, and the world through service, a strong work ethic, ability, and leadership.
Gifts to the Ferrum Fund strengthen Ferrum College as Virginia’s College of Opportunity—nurturing students, connecting them to hands-on experiences inside and outside the classroom that educate and inspire. Giving to the Ferrum Fund can help provide internships, academic activities, support clubs and organizations, a community devoted to the success of each student, and much more.

Transformational growth of the annual unrestricted Ferrum Fund is critical to help Ferrum College meet the growing needs of our students and campus.
When Ferrum College alumni and friends come together, small monthly gifts become transformational. With $1.50 per day, you can have a significant impact.
If 2,000 Ferrum College friends and alumni set up a recurring gift of $45 a month (about $1.50 per day), the Ferrum Fund will grow by $1M in just 12 months—and we all will have worked together to achieve transformation that helps our students achieve their educational dreams. It can only happen if you are one of them.
