New Century Fund

Central Michigan University is committed to providing students with a transformative educational experience. The New Century Fund at CMU is vital to this goal, enabling the university president to allocate resources toward important scholarships, areas of greatest need, and student support.

The New Century Fund supports essential scholarships, ensuring talented students have the financial means to attend CMU. These resources promote access and provide opportunities for individuals who otherwise may not afford a college education.

CMU must remain at the forefront of innovation and academic excellence in an ever-evolving educational landscape. The New Century Fund empowers the president to allocate resources strategically, addressing CMU’s areas of greatest need. These funds may enhance and establish programs, invest in cutting-edge technology and infrastructure, and support faculty and staff development. By investing in these critical areas, CMU can provide an exceptional learning environment, attract top-tier faculty, and equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in their chosen fields.

By bolstering support services, CMU can ensure the well-being of its students and empower them to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. The New Century Fund enables the president to invest in counseling services, career development initiatives, student retention, and student leadership opportunities.

The New Century Fund at CMU represents an unparalleled opportunity to significantly impact students’ lives, the university, and the broader community. By supporting essential scholarships, addressing areas of greatest need, and enhancing student support services, the New Century Fund ensures that CMU remains an institution dedicated to access, excellence, and student success. Please consider a gift to the New Century Fund to Fire Up the Future of CMU students.
