The Olivet College Office of Institutional Advancement is committed to raising resources and building relationships; encouraging alumni, parents, friends, corporations and foundations to participate in the growth and development of Olivet College, to borrow the words of The Olivet College Compact. The primary role of the advancement office is to secure sufficient resources over and above the college's other revenue to assure quality student learning now and for the future. A number of giving opportunities are available at Olivet College.
Major gifts to Olivet College provide the means for new facilities, expansion and improvement of existing facilities, equipment purchases, and program development. A walk through Olivet's campus offers vivid reminders of the impact major gifts have had over the years; providing and renewing classroom buildings, residence halls and athletic facilities.

The Olivet Annual Scholarship Fund
Online Giving Form
That's why nearly every student who attends Olivet receives some form of internal financial assistance. During the 2006-07 academic year, Olivet students were awarded more than $7 million through grants, scholarships and the college's work study program. These opportunities make it possible for talented students and their families to afford an Olivet College education.
To help support this financial commitment, The Olivet College Annual Scholarship Fund has been established. Your unrestricted gift no matter the size allows the college to attract and retain knowledgeable and responsible students.
It is imperative that The Olivet College Annual Scholarship Fund is supported each and every year. Its growth allows us to meet the rising cost of education and plan for a fiscally sound future.

Buy-A-Brick Campaign
Thousands of people pass through Olivet
College's Kirk Center each year. To enhance the appearance surrounding
this focal point on campus, the college will construct new walkways
consisting of bricks purchased by Olivet alumni, students, faculty,
staff and community members.
You are invited to support this worthy opportunity. When you buy a brick, you're investing in far more than the sidewalk itself. Money raised through the purchase of the personalized bricks will support the Olivet College Annual Scholarship Fund. Purchasing an engraved brick is a great way to etch your name into Olivet College history. It also makes a great gift. For $150, you can buy a standard 4" x 8" brick engraved with your name or personal message. A $500 contribution buys an 8" x 8" engraved brick, and a $1,000 contribution buys a 12" x 12" brick. In the event you would like to recognize someone special to you or a family member, student, classmate or college employee or engraved bricks may also be purchased in their honor.
Now is the time to leave your mark on Olivet College's campus and on the lives of those students who will benefit from the Annual Scholarship Fund.
