Keep the Buff Tradition Going: The Class of 2026 Gift
Your time at CU Boulder has been defined by unforgettable moments, meaningful friendships and experiences that will stay with you long after graduation. The Class of 2026 senior gift offers a chance to celebrate that journey while paying it forward.
By contributing $20.26, you’re honoring your time at CU Boulder and helping create opportunities for future Buffs to build their memories and connections. It’s a small way to leave a lasting impact on the place that shaped your college experience.
Family and friends can also make a gift in your honor to celebrate your achievements and support the next generation of Buffs.
🦬 Keeping the tradition alive
Graduating Buffs have been celebrating their legacy and giving back to CU Boulder for decades. The Class of 1991 contributed to the Norlin Book Endowment, while the Class of 2004 funded the iconic sandstone archway above Farrand Field.
Whether through tangible campus improvements or vital scholarship funding, your contribution helps make CU Boulder a better place.
🎁 This year’s gift
Since 2013, the senior class gift has been a scholarship created by students, for students. Every contribution to the Seniors Creating Future Buffs Scholarship supports an endowment that helps future generations of Buffs access academic opportunities and engaging campus experiences.
Scholarship recipient, Ashley Jung (Biochem’ 24), said, “The Seniors Creating Future Buffs Scholarship has helped me become a first-generation college graduate and significantly impacted my journey to becoming a future physician. It has given me the opportunity to have the most fulfilling undergraduate experience by lessening the financial barriers that come with college.”
🎉Pick up your donor stole!
On top of the rewarding feeling of helping fellow Buffs, all Senior Gift donors are eligible to wear the Blue Contribution Cord at commencement. To pick up your cord, simply bring your donation email confirmation to the Center for Student Involvement, located on the third floor of the University Memorial Center (UMC) during normal business hours (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m.).
As graduation approaches, join the Class of 2026 senior gift and help keep this special Buff tradition going.
