Each and every year, thousands of alumni, parents and friends make proud PLU moments possible for talented, bright young men and women. Unrestricted annual gifts provide a steady foundation for the university's work, and play as essential role in furthering the central tenets of our mission: thoughtful inquiry, service, leadership and care. Q Club is crucial to Pacific Lutheran University's ability to attract the very best students and make quality education affordable for all families.

Four Pillars of Quality Education

Donors have the ability to support all aspects of a PLU education. Support for student scholarships remains the top priority for Q Club, but choosing one of four designations allows you the opportunity to sustain the programs that make PLU special to you.

Student Scholarships

 To lessen students' financial burden, allowing them to focus on what college is really about - academics.

Academic Excellence

 To support faculty members seeking to expand and enrich their curriculum, involve students in research and inspire active learning.

Campus Life

To support the many student activities that give balance to students' lives: more than 60 clubs and organizations, student publications and campus ministry - just to name a few.

Area of Greatest Need

 To give the university the flexibility to respond to opportunities and needs as they arise.
