Senior Class Gift

The Senior Class Gift is your opportunity to show gratitude to the Nazareth community that shaped your journey. Whether it’s $5 or $25, every gift helps create opportunities for future Golden Flyers—just like the ones you had.

Why Participate?

  • Start your legacy of giving and take your first step toward joining the 1924 Loyalty Society.
  • Support what mattered most to you—your gift goes toward financial aid, student experiences, and the programs that made Naz feel like home.
  • Honor someone who inspired you, whether it’s a professor, coach, friend, or family member who helped you get here.

Together, let’s show what it means to give back—and lift up the Nazareth experience for the next generation.
