Recommendation from the Academic Programs and New Initiatives Task Force:
Meet 100% of defined financial need for all students through scholarships and a reasonable amount of student employment and loans.
Additional explanation:
An important focus of fundraising will be to provide a very substantial increase in both the number of endowed scholarships and the size of scholarship awards. To accomplish this objective, creative approaches will be utilized, including solicitation of matching funds. Gustavus has held a long-standing belief that a Gustavus education should be accessible and affordable to all students who meet our admission standards. Gustavus needs to substantially increase funding to make this so, while looking to increase the presence of international students as well as geographic and socio-economic diversity.
