The MLA program is funded solely through tuition and the generosity of our alumni.
With your help, we can continue to expand our course offerings, produce unique and compelling events, and build the intellectual community our students and alumni demand. Your donations also help us to keep the program affordable for future students.
We put to good use giving of any amount; some examples of initiatives and activities your gift can help sustain:
- Annual production of the Tangents journal
- Funding the annual Stanford author event
- Funding the annual Welcome Dinner for incoming students
- Funding a specific course
- Funding the MLA graduation ceremonies
Another important way for you to help the program is through your connections, and spreading the word about the program to potential applicants. You are our best resource for recruiting future classes.
We are grateful for all forms of support our alumni wish to extend: from volunteering time, to giving in any amount, to promoting the program among your circles.
