One of the most powerful things about Berry's community is the way generosity takes many forms — and still moves in the same direction. On April 8, 2026, Berry's first-ever Day of Giving, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends are coming together not around a single fund, but around a shared commitment to students: ensuring access, stability and transformative experiences at every stage of their Berry journey.
Rather than focusing on one effort, this Day of Giving spotlight highlights two broad areas where generosity makes a difference: Scholarships and Aid and Student Experience funds. Together, they reflect a simple truth — students thrive when the Berry community rows together on their behalf.
Scholarships and Aid: Removing barriers, opening doors
Scholarships and assistance help ensure that talent, determination and purpose — not financial circumstance — determine a student's path forward at Berry. Gifts in this area provide both long-term access and timely support when life takes an unexpected turn.
Day of Giving encourages support for scholarship funds that keep Berry accessible, along with flexible resources that help students stay enrolled when challenges arise — from emergency scholarships to need-based aid that bridges the gap during moments of uncertainty.
Every gift to the featured Scholarships and Aid funds strengthens the foundation that allows students to remain focused on learning, growth and graduation.

Student Experience: Learning that's lived
Berry's education is distinctive because learning doesn't stop at the classroom door. Student work, mentored research, service, internships and immersive experiences shape graduates who are prepared to lead lives of purpose.
Day of Giving support for our featured Student Experience funds helps make those opportunities possible — and accessible — for all students. From LifeWorks wages and purposeful experiences to resources that support basic needs and preserve Berry's history, these funds ensure that learning is lived, not just studied.
When you invest in the student experience, you provide the moments that students carry with them long after graduation.
