The AICUP Foundation has remained committed to bridging the gap between businesses and higher education for decades, channeling support and funding to Pennsylvania’s independent, nonprofit colleges and universities and their students.

Giving Opportunities

Over $50 million has already been channeled through the AICUP Foundation to our member institutions, opening doors for thousands of students. See how you can help.

Unrestricted Support

Allows flexibility in our ability to serve our member institutions. Financial support can be provided to institutions without any requirement as to where the funds are allocated, allowing our institutions to assist students, start new programs, or improve facilities.

Scholarships and Award Programs

Tailored by the donor, these scholarships and/or award programs provide support to students who show exceptional commitment to community service, major within a specific academic discipline, or who maintain a certain grade point average.

Institutional Grants

Provide funds to our member institutions for special projects such as campus-based technology enhancements, curricular innovations, and opportunities for student volunteerism and community service.
