Why We Give to the Parents Fund
“When I consider the truly outstanding education my son, Neil, is receiving at Pitzer and the fact that tuition covers only a portion of the cost of that education, the decision to support the Parents Fund is a very easy decision to make. Pitzer is helping to bring out the best in my son. It is a special place with dedicated, committed professors and staff who are making a difference in my child’s life. That is why I give to the Parents Fund and why I serve as a volunteer to encourage other parents to do the same.”
— Paula Pretlow P’08, Parent Association President
“The Pitzer experience is extraordinary. We’re excited that Pitzer is recognized as a top liberal arts college and contributing to the Parents Fund is a significant way to help Pitzer continue to move forward. Parent gifts can help Pitzer when competing for grants, while also encouraging alumni and friends of the college to give to the school. By making a donation to the Parents Fund we invest in our children and future grandchildren in a meaningful way, and make a statement about the importance of our daughter’s education.”
— Daniel and Francine Scinto P’08
“We started giving to the Parents Fund after our daughter’s first year. We realized that Pitzer was everything we all had hoped a college could be, and more. The great variety of students, the passionate faculty, the ever-amazing and accessible President Trombley and the honest commitment to intercultural understanding and personal responsibility are not just blurbs from the catalogue. Pitzer is an educational institution with the courage to put great theories into practice. We feel we would all be better off with more of Pitzer in the world. And contributing to the Parents Fund is our way of helping make that happen.”
— Jon Scieszka and Jeri Hansen P’06 |

The Pitzer Parents Fund saw record success in 2004-2005 in both dollars raised and participation rates. A grand total of $462,153 was raised and 44% of all Pitzer parents contributed to the fund. Pitzer College would like to say thank you for another year of significant and generous support!
 Tuition does not cover the entire cost of a Pitzer education. Annual contributions from parents, alumni, foundations, corporations, and friends of the College enable Pitzer to remain at the forefront of progressive liberal arts and sciences institutions.
