Drury education is transformative. When a student chooses Drury, they choose a distinctive education that is personalized to their individual needs and interests. They choose to be part of a supportive community where their success is always the first priority. They choose a path of opportunity and knowledge that will set them apart in their careers and lay a foundation for generational success.
The most recent incoming class included 320 freshmen, of those, 121 were first-generation college students. In 2021, nearly 100% of freshmen received some form of financial aid. This is why we believe a Drury education should always be accessible to deserving students. Within this campaign, we seek to increase scholarship monies and invest in our faculty, research, and programs. Your support of the Student Success Fund (ADEF) enables Drury to reach beyond our limits and provide more aid each year to the brightest students and leaders of tomorrow.
Completely donor driven, the Student Success Fund (ADEF) allows alumni, businesses, foundations, and friends to Fortify the Future by investing in and empowering more students to a successful and fulfilled life.
