Give
At the heart of Monmouth’s success is the generous support of our alumni, parents and friends.
Every Scot counts
That’s why every gift to Monmouth College fuels the Flame of White & Crimson. With your help, we can fund top-level academic programs, support our Fighting Scots, provide scholarships, and keep our beloved residential campus beautiful.
Best of all, you can see your philanthropy in action as our students produce cutting-edge research, explore the world and earn national recognition.
Every gift in its place, and a place for every gift
Monmouth recognizes the impact of every gift, no matter the size. Whether it is a contribution to the Monmouth Fund, a matching gift from an employer or a bequest, your gift helps keep the Flame burning bright for generations to come.

Donor Stories
What say about Monmouth
“A liberal arts education has been enormous in my development as an engineer. Through the rigorous coursework and critical thinking assignments at Monmouth, I can clearly articulate technical concepts in writing that has advanced my career.”
“Monmouth College significantly impacted my life. It built my confidence, and it challenged me, and it continues to challenge me today.”
“It’s easy to get lost at a large school, but our faculty and staff at Monmouth will not allow that to happen.”
“I’m so grateful for Monmouth College. It’s crazy to think that you come to college thinking you’re going to do something and you come out doing something else.”
“Our son was recruited to play lacrosse. Even though it was a blizzard outside, our first visit to campus was awesome. It’s nice to know if we have questions or concerns someone is there to help. Our son made a perfect decision. It’s a perfect fit!”
“From day one, people on campus were a family – and he felt like he was a member of that family, not just a number. He’s a big-city-kind-of-kid, but he felt like he truly belonged on this small campus and in this community.”
“My daughter decided to go to Monmouth because of the individual support, the beautiful campus and small class sizes. She has participated in activities that she wouldn’t have had a chance to at a larger college.”
“The size of Monmouth is perfect for my daughter because she came from a smaller high school and she got several scholarships. She has fit in very well at Monmouth and she is very happy with her decision, as are her parents.”
