Students are at the center of all we do at Rensselaer. As a Rensselaer parent, you see first-hand the impact a Rensselaer education has on your student, and the value of that education. The educational opportunities available to our students will serve them not only during their years at Rensselaer but throughout their careers.

The Rensselaer Parents Fund was established to give parents the opportunity to participate in the success of all Rensselaer students and in the entire university. When families—whether it is parents, grandparents, or other family members—make a gift in support of students, the impact of these gifts can be felt throughout our campus.  You are part of a community of people not only committed to the success of your student, but to all students, and to Rensselaer.

All gifts to the Rensselaer Parents Fund will be credited toward your participation in the Rensselaer Annual Fund, and all gifts, whether unrestricted or restricted to a specific purpose, will qualify for membership in the Parents Giving Society of Rensselaer. To make your gift, please visit our Annual Fund Online Giving site and designate your gift to the Rensselaer Parents Fund.

Volunteer
There are many ways to contribute to the success of our students, including volunteering for the Rensselaer Parents Fund. If you are interested in making a gift or joining this dedicated committee of volunteers, please contact Kelly Wisnewski, or call (518) 276-2567.
