The Senior Gift is an opportunity for each graduating student to leave a mark that serves as a lasting reminder that they are students today and alumni forever. Each donation is an expression of gratitude toward Utah State University for the knowledge and experience you've gained.

How much should I give?

In honor of the graduating year 2009, Seniors are asked to give $20.09 for a standard gift. However, gifts of all sizes are accepted and appreciated. Donors to the Senior Gift will be listed in the commencement program, along with the name(s) of an individual or couple you would like to honor for their influence on your education.

  • $20.09 (Standard Senior Gift) you will receive 1 line in the commencement program to honor a person or a couple that have influenced your education.
  • $30.09 (Aggie Senior Gift) you will receive 2 lines in the commencement program.
  • $50.09 (True Aggie Gift) you will receive 3 lines in the commencement program.
  • $100.09 (Senior Gift Legacy Pledge) In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Senior Gift Tradition, seniors can make a Legacy Pledge and give $100.09 over a three-year period.
    • 2009 - $20.09
    • 2010 - $30.00
    • 2011 - $50.00
    Each Legacy Pledge Donor will receive 2 lines in the commencement program and a special gift.
