John Thompson '56. "Our challenge is this," explains John Thompson '56. "Many prospective students face a gap between all their available financial resources (family contribution, government aid, Clarkson and other assistance) and the total tuition and fees that Clarkson must charge." By providing a direct scholarship through the Share Clarkson program, you can help these students attend the school of their choice: Clarkson University. Our competitors provide aid from large endowments. Clarkson, however, has a relatively small endowment. That's why your assistance through Share Clarkson has a big, immediate impact. By meeting the need of a promising student, you make a real difference. You make it possible for that individual to enroll here. "Clarkson is building its endowment for the future. Meanwhile," says John, "a Share Clarkson scholarship enables a promising student to attend Clarkson today."
