Tuition and fees cover only 64% of the actual cost of each student's education. The rest is made up through generous annual contributions from alumni, parents and friends. Here are some examples of what your contribution can do:
· if 10 people made gifts of $10,000, 3 painting studios could be upgraded
· if 5 people made gifts of $1,000, 1 student computer design station could be upgraded
· if 280 people made gifts of $125, 1 deserving student could attend RISD for a year
