The University of Dayton (UD) is a top-tier national Catholic research university dedicated to service, leadership, and building strong communities. With a mission rooted in faith and action, UD prepares students to make a meaningful difference in the world while offering an education that blends academic excellence with heart.

The University of Dayton endowment is all about creating lasting opportunities. Endowments like this are built from the generosity of donors who believe in something bigger than themselves—supporting students and changing lives for generations to come.

Here’s how it works: the funds are invested so they keep growing over time, and only the earnings are used to provide consistent, dependable scholarships. This isn’t a rainy-day fund; it’s designed to ensure students have access to life-changing education for years to come.
