Support Future Alumni
With just a few days left until Christmas, is a gift to APU students on your list?
Some students still can’t sign up for spring classes because their balance is too high. They’re praying for a Christmas miracle to get the financial support they need to return in the new year.
Will you be their Christmas miracle? Your gift by December 31, joined with the gifts of other alumni, will help provide the much-needed support to return.
There’s strength in numbers when we all join together. Please help give an APU student the chance to return for spring classes with your gift today!
