Building the Lehigh Fund sustains the university on a day-to-day basis.

  • The Lehigh Fund provides for Lehigh's annual operating budget.
  • Tuition only covers 49 percent of the operating costs of the university.
  • More than 50 percent of the Lehigh Fund goes toward scholarship aid, with the remainder supporting career services, lab and computer equipment, library acquisitions, tutoring and mentoring, and much more.
  • Unrestricted gifts are especially valuable, since they can be allocated to the areas of greatest need.

Read about how challenge scholarships bridge the gap between endowment and annual dollars.
